I believe I have pics of this buck last year as a typical 4 point approaching the 170" mark. Rumor has it that he got hit by a car. The 170" buck last year did have an open wound on his rear right flank. I wonder if the wound was the cause of the weird growth this year?
P_N_T---It's doubtful they are the same deer. Normally when a buck is injured he will grow a weird rack on the opposite side from where the injury occurred and this one has the goofy side on the right.
TopGun My memory could serve me wrong as to which side the wound was on. I hung out a while when his buddies had one side shed. And remember seeing a wound on the buck that I think is this one. I could be wrong though.
Pines, if the wound was high up on the hip, then this is the buck. There looks to be on old wound on his left hip. Funny, but after I clicked on your link, I rembered reading your post, but didn't put 2 n 2 together that this was the same buck. Thats not like me. I'll use the excuse I just turned old last week.
LAST EDITED ON Jun-04-11 AT 06:19PM (MST)[p]If you have picts of what he looked like last year, then post 'em. Would love to see what he looked like last year.
Yelum---Then that would make sense with the rack being weird on the right side if he had an old wound on the left side and this newer one is on the right. He must be a cat with nine lives or something. Maybe he doesn't know he's supposed to cross the road where there are deer crossing signs!
