cray8705 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Back in July I got some pictures of a buck in velvet that only had one side of his antlers. I speculated that he either had something wrong genetically or he had had some kind of accident, or maybe something else. I wondered if since he was in velvet if he would start growing back the missing side. Anyway I finally got another picture of him recently and I saw him while I was hunting last night, and if it is him (which i'm pretty sure it is) he did start growing the missing side back, so i'm guessing he just had some kind of accident. Anyway let me know if you think it is the same deer in the pictures, I know they aren't of the best angles, I would buy a better camera, but i'd rather have the nice bow that I have.

Ethan Givan Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Kinda hard to tell from the pics...but im pretty sure that isnt the same deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 If looks like the same deer, but the pics make it hard to make sure. If it is the same deer my guess is that he broke it off close to the base sometime during summer and then it started to grow back but never got as far as the other one by the time he finished growing.

The Kid Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 i'd have to pass on him and see what happens next year maybe he'll have both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cray8705 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 yea, i wasn't planning on taking him if i got the chance when i saw him yesterday he was about 60 yds away. I only have one buck tag left right now, and there is a much bigger deer that i'm after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairiepredator Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 It is very possible it is the same buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp793 Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hard to tell from the pictures, but I think it could be the same deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
layin on the smackdown Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Kinda hard to tell from the pics...but im pretty sure that isnt the same deer. I agree with Ethan on this one...The first pic of the buck in velvet sure looks like he has a bigger body, and a better rack..The second pic looks like a young buck that has an attitude and keeps getting his butt handed to him. The second bucks rack doesn't look anything like the first bucks rack, but it is november, and it could be the same deer who grew a little on one side, and broke some on the other... my first gut feeling is no, its not...but it could be.
