This came from a hog trap I am running east of college station.


Ignore the 2006, these are from last week, but is this buck just genetically messed up or what? I've never seen anything like it. I'm also assuming he's not very old.
Also,
Thoughts on the age of this motley county buck? I'm thinking he just became a target buck if he will come out in the daytime.

#1 - kill with fire

#2 - looks like a home-fed 3/4yo who's been soppin biscuits in corn syrup. kill him? Depends on the property but I'd let him walk

Deer 1- We had a similar looking deer about 6 years ago on our ranch. We killed him or "it". When field dressing we found it had male parts on the outside but ovaries and other lady parts on the inside. We dissected the parts as our TPWD biologist wanted to see. She said she had seen that before.

Deer 2- 3.5 yr.

Good hunting and Merry Christmas to all.

The first one is a stag buck.

Gotta love a deer that will give you a raspberry!

We have one like that on some of my dad's land. From pictures it looks like ours has a broken jaw, but he's able to eat just fine. Funny looking thing to see on camera!

Learned something new there. Just read this:

"These are what hunters call "cactus bucks." The term is a catch-all for a certain type of antler deformity, but "true" cactus bucks are animals suffering from lowered testosterone production, which in turn affects growth of their antlers. Generally, this is caused by injury to the testicles, which are a major producer of testosterone. Other causes can include tumors or even diseases like epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD), which can damage the buck's testicles or otherwise affect hormone production.

The condition of the buck's antlers depends on when the injury occurs. If a deer is castrated as a fawn, it will never grow antlers in the first place. If the injury happens while the buck already has hardened antlers, the buck will usually shed their antlers almost immediately.

On the other hand, if a buck is injured after it has shed its antlers, next season it will grow its last and permanent set, which will never be shed. Finally, when a buck is injured while still growing its antlers, it will keep themand the velvet coverfor the rest of its life."

That's what happens when Marge Simpson gets it on with a buck.

I assumed he was Russian.
