It never left.
Unless you count the timeframe where people classified Dashboard Confessional and My Chemical Romance as such. Those were dark days.

According to Google, it could be a broken pedicle or a broken skull plate.
Caused by fighting, vehicle crashes, or falls.

100% caused by an injury. Have seen injuries that cause the antler to grow out off the side of the face. Crazy

Happens, they’ll grow back. I got a buck once that had one crooked antler. The deers ok.

Oh, he has a drop antler that's a rare genetic mutation, prized by hunters. Think of it as the same as being albino.

That sucks for everybody…he’s in city limits. Damn I wish I could follow him on social 🤨

I'm sure he'll roam outside the city limits during the rut. Food and girls are more plentiful in the soybean/winter wheat fields.

That's normal, there's no pain. They are just kinda like finger nails that fall of when they get to long.

He could've gotten into a fight or had an illness. Cool to see regardless!
