I think that is a really old deer on the decline. Bad news if you are in AR county not sure he is legal bc he has those 2 poins on the right side.

I would pass on that buck since he has a 5 point left antler. He has some serious damage in the velvet growing stage it appears from those pics.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

![scratch scratch](/forum/images/graemlins/default/kopfkratz.gif) Would that be considered unbranched? Looks like pedicle damage to me. Good looking pics ![up up](/forum/images/graemlins/default/cup.gif)

That's a unique deer. I would shoot him just for that, if he were legal.

I would be too curious to see what he looked like next year to shoot him. I think he had a serious injury during velvet, maybe even had part of it ripped off, and thats why his left side has a bent main beam.

I heard if they had an injury to a leg it could effect antler growth. Could be someone pulling my leg, but I've always heard front leg same side antler, rear leg opposite antler.

I consulted him on a deer that I had that was like this. We didn't shoot him and he had his best rack ever the next year.
