Gr8 White Jr Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Here are some pics of my 2006 buck. I never posted them so I figured I would finally do it to pass the time untill draw results are out. I have taken many mule deer but this was my first coues. He is a wierd one! From the time I spotted him untill the time I shot him he was allways facing to my left and I never saw the smaller side. What a gut wrenching disapointment after he was down and I lifted his head to discover his abnormal rack. Talk about going from the highest high to the lowest low but I was still happy to have taken my first coues deer and it was a long and very fun hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted March 6, 2008 Did you happen to notice while you were skinning or taking care of the meat, were there any deformities or old wounds on the deer. It would have been on the opposite side of the freak antler. We took a buck a long time ago, had an old wound on his front left shoulder and his right antler was messed up, similar to yours. We did some research and found it is a very typical thing for an abnormality of some sort on the opposite side of the freak antler. Nice buck....I wouldn't pass on him.....nice job.

Yeah I know deformities in antler growth are commonly caused by an injury on the opposite side of the abnormal antler but this buck was an extremely healthy, big bodied coues. He had know injuries, at least that I could tell. He is definitely a strange one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
