Antlers 2012
- Thread starter X-Factor Whitetails
- Start date
Hey Matt, is he in a pen with others ? One swift kick from another when his head is down could have broken it off.............just my thoughts. Had a buck who lost his antlers kick/break off an antler off another smaller one over some treats once - sounded like a rifle shot and knocked the smaller one out for a couple minutes.
He was a great buck. His blood is in a lot of great foundation deer in Alabama. All your deer are looking great again this year Sam.

Matt, As a yearling, Rim Rolex did the same thing. Here is a picture after he tore it out. We think he hit it on the chain link fence. One thing to remember is that while they are pushing a bunch of antler, the actual pedicle part that attaches the velvet to the skull is still relatively small and not really ready to carry that much weight. Any force can snap it off right there. He could have even been playing and hit it on the ground. I have seen that before. Young deer stumble all the time, especially when startled and jumping up out of thier bed!
Again good luck!

Here is a buck that was born here but we haven't paid that much attention to...lol. He was a nice yearling and we loved his tine length so thats why we named him Maxbo Megatine (see small picture below). He damaged his antlers at 2 but still grew into a fairly nice 5X6. He is 3 this year and starting to catch my eye.

Wayne, love those brows on Maxin A Like. I hope he gets those long tines. He looks wider than ever.
Here is DoubleJack. He started way behind but is finally starting to pour it on. He has a lot of stuff coming out the back so I'll post one from that angle.

Wayne, Do you have semen on Maxin A Like? If so what is the price and would you be interested in trading for a straw of Abendigo?
