One massive antler

Hey Roger and Laurie,

Was wondering if you would post this pic on Deer Farmer. This is a 3 year old. He shed early but looks pretty good. 22 inches wide. The picture doesn't do him justice but oh well. He has 19 points right now and I took the photo Thursday I think. That is Maximillion standing beside him.

I got this email from Tim and am posting for him.

That is rediculous how far along he is! The buck in the background just has one antler lol!

We also had a buck that we had purchased that had one massive horn coming out of his head. We moved him to the preserve as we were told this buck would never survive as the pressure on his brain would be too much to shed this antler. We now have one of his sons on the ground that appears to be doing the same thing at 4 years old. His son was not cut at 3. Is this a hereditary trait or could something else be causing this to happen? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Pictures are mount @ 3, growing @ 5, and harvested @ 5.
