Why do you think this buck is missing his left antler? You can't tell very well from the pictures but on his left side he has about a 2" of growth that doesn't appear damaged. He appeared to be healthy(watched him run off) and I did not notice anything abnormal about the right side of his body(watched him through spotting scope at about 200 yards for about 5 minutes). His left antler looks just like a buck that is starting to grow his antlers in early May. Did he snap it off at the base and start growing it again? Will he grow a "normal" set of antlers next year?
I know there are a number of different reasons a buck could loose his antler and have my own opinion of what may have happened to his left antler. I thought it would be interesting to hear what others had to say.
