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.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

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.
I love the Great State of Texas and the opportunities to enjoy the outdoors, "All things are possible through Him that strengthens me!"

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.

May have an injured petical. That would be my guess as well, and like STX said he would not be getting a pass
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

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