Rhino Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Ran the cams while I was in Missouri this past weekend. These bucks baffle me. Not just 1 buck but 2 of them! One appears to be fully mature, the other appears to be a 2 year old...both with the same trait. We've never gotten any bucks on cams in the past with this trait either. Makes me wonder if it's genetic or just mother nature playing games with my head. I'll do another post of normal antlered bucks...for the most part anyway.

wtnhunt Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 Cool character though Al. I would go out on a limb and say first set of pics is the daddy of the other buck. And if that is the case, then it would most certainly be a genetic trait, probably one you would want to get rid of. Reminds me I need to continue my research on the goofy racked big buck we had here last year in comparing to the one this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 It's genetics. Whether it's a buck or a doe, you have a deer in that area tossing that gene around. Saw it on my place 10-12 years ago with bucks that were 22" - 24+" wide INSIDE spread at 3.5 years old. I'm not even sure if that gene still isn't hanging around yet, sometimes. Have a 1.5 year buck in there this year that a 4 point but in the 15" inside spread range. Good luck getting one of those dudes !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Interesting article that may apply to this topic, I ran across this yesterday from a link while deleting emails https://www.qdma.com/spike-one-side-genetics-injury/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
