I think what is amazing is that the antler broke, imagine how much force it took to snap that tine off. I know that some deer have very brittle antlers but some dont.
It gives another meaning to the saying "shove it ya and break it off".
>Didnt Chris Farley used to say....
>Ouch! Now that's gonna leave
>a mark!
I thought that was John Candy in Spaceballs (he went to get out of his seat and the seatbelt was still on and he said...'OUCH! That's gonna leave a mark!").
My gf shot an old whitetail a couple years ago and when we got the european mount done there was about an inch and a half tine broke off in the eye socket of her buck. couldnt see a thing on the cape either. makes for a cool mount now too.
