Tribute to an old king
BowEd:
Thanks fellas....This is really just a small example of what some racks can look like.This one was here that's all.There's opinions on why this happens.Some say genetics or possibly nuitrtion.I'm sure there is someone out there that has more insight to this sort of thing than me.
TimBo:
I bet he scared the you-know-what out of many a little buck in his day!
Zuma:
It is interesting that the odd point looks like it belongs exactly
where the main beam is missing one. A very cool wall hanger. 8)
DNA info tells where and what to build in the womb and beyond.
Seems it had the what right and the where wrong, ???

Looks like the old guy was equipped with an eye puncher...That would back them off quick...

BowEd:
Yes I would imagine he would have his way most times in a pushing match....lol,but even the big ones get injured at times.I see bucks limping around here occasionally through the rutting time.
I'm of the opinion that this guy would have something like this rack probably every year with that extra rosette and spike.Could be wrong though.You'll see even though he's a nontypical the points still do match up numbers wise on each side.I brain tanned a big different buck a while back that was probably of the same age as this one.He had all kinds of poke hole scars on his neck and shoulders.Could be those two fought each other a time or two too.
The mass on him is quite a bit for a whitetail 9 to 10 point rack.Over 6" around the rosette area.Probably at least a 5 to 7 year old animal.I never did any teeth evaluation though.
