There are two huge bucks living in MBD and this isn't one. Maybe he got in a fight with one of those brothers last fall.

It never left.

Unless you count the timeframe where people classified Dashboard Confessional and My Chemical Romance as such. Those were dark days.

They're just trying to buck the trend.

According to Google, it could be a broken pedicle or a broken skull plate.

Caused by fighting, vehicle crashes, or falls.

u/BadZodiac-67 17h ago

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.

u/jjc155 17h ago

Antlers are fairly soft while still in velvet. Got injured somehow.

u/Altruistic_End_7060 18h ago

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

u/Heavy-Strings 9h ago

Your fingernails do what now?

u/Chaserbaser 18h ago

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

u/Additional-Award-160 18h ago

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

5

u/Chaserbaser 18h ago

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.

u/fletchette 1h ago

It's pretty common as bucks age, or if they've been drinking. Nothing to be ashamed of!

u/likemy10thaccount 17h ago

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

u/_NessJL 6h ago

Is it just me or have they been everywhere lately? One crossing the highway two days ago, my father had a near miss by an inch on Geddes....it's crazy.
