At first glance it looked like one, 3 pointed antler but upon a closer look it's two antlers blended in. The left antler is a normal antler just forming while the other one is growing off the front of his face. I see quite a few antlers and bulls like this every year. Pretty cool stuff!

Was told that this is caused by a type of fly that gets in the sinus cavity during the development of the pedicle.

 

Actually this kind of growth is typically from some sort of damage to the pedicle when the bull is super young which causes it to grow at the angle at which the pedicle fixes it's self. Normally on these bulls, once killed, you can see the scar tissue on the pedicle to prove it. I see them a lot each spring while buying sheds and heads.
