Look at the deer right in front of the feeder. This guy is so weird looking. We call him the helmet buck.

eek2 Is this the first year he's like that? I don't see how he could shed properly come February.

I can honestly say I have never seen anything like that

Its in Young County. Hes never been on game cameras before, there is a real slight possibility its some kinda screwed up doe. I have seen a doe with a spike before on a different lease. 8point I don't think this thing will be able to shed either!

My guess would be a doe with antlers.

That's very weird.

I've seen a doe that added extra every year, never shed and never lots velvet.
I zoomed all the way in and it looks like a buck though.

I have seen something like this on a buck that broke an antler off right at the burr. He could not shed that small piece of antler left. New growth started and he got an antler infection which eventually pushed the small old antler off. He grew a rack similar to this one on the one side. If broke off both antlers and got an infection on both sides then it might look like this. The new antlers would and could grow around the old antler from last year.

wall of shame deer

Re: Gotta see it to believe it - 07/31/12 09:31 PM

I don't know about wall of shame, I like the freak deer, you know what kind of conversations that euro mount would make.

That can happen when they lose their manhoods, like jumping a fence. Their antlers never shed and they grow a big mass like the one shown. A friend has one just like it mounted in his office.

Re: Gotta see it to believe it - 07/31/12 09:41 PM

^^^^ What aggie said, my buddy shot one very similar to this last year. Had a horned growth similar to the pic but no manhood. I will try and put the pick up later.

Re: Gotta see it to believe it - 07/31/12 11:55 PM

Bet its a Stag, I have shot about 8 of them.

after you shoot him two thing, he will have pea sized balls and will be covered in fat. Best venison around

Looks like a buck that has no jingle-bells. We had one on Buffalo Springs last year that Meg took out.

Biologist from our ranch calls them Cactus bucks. This is more typical in mule deer but can happen in whitetail. It is a genetic defect in which a male species deer is missing his two marbles or the gland that produces testosterone. There horns usually grow in big clumps and will always stay in velvet. Hopefully you will see him after all the other deer dont have velvet, and then you will know.
