Could be from an injury. Does'nt look to be broke off.

$5 says he broke off. we've killed a few bucks like that in the past only to find out they had broken off at the beams.

I would pass on him


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

hairline looks to me like the base was larger, could have had a mishap in late development. Dont see any muscle swelling or defects of any kind on left side. cant see hooves

I think horn accident

Hold off and wait for a better pic of his right side. If he's not broke off (has bad genetics) in your opinion at the end of the season, fill the freezer.

I'd give him a year and see what he does. Beautiful face on him though.

It is an injury of some sorts but based on his other side I would not let him pass IMO.

He appears to be a younger buck not over three and I agree with what has already been stated cant really see well enough to tell if it is a defect or broken off , give him another year and see how he turns out , and as already stated if you have better pics that shows it's a defect I'd still give him another year and see if he grows out of it if not enjoy his back straps.

Looks like a scrub to me but hard to tell for sure .. I've had deer leases full of scrubs but I'd hold up just cause he's young


I love hunting ! Got to love it !

give him 1 more year to see then cull him if its genetics.. I never decide the first time I see something like that....He may sprout normal next year.

That would be my guess as well, and like STX said he would not be getting a pass

He could have hit his horn on something when it first started growing and stunted the growth...but it doesn't look broke

This^^^ regardless if it's broke or whatever, he's old and a good cull
