Buck shows up on camera so she decides to go buy her license and go set in my stand. Get a call a few hours later that she shot him. She has all the luck... He was blind in his left eye and was aged between 9 or 10 years old. Got a pic of him a few years ago and his face was beat up pretty bad and looked like that eye was bulging out of the socket.

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

Talk about character!!! Did he have that extra horn growth on his forehead when you got the pic of him a few years ago?

Great buck! Congrats to your wife!
This ^^^^^.
Unique buck and a great looking mount!
Do you have any pics of the skull after it was caped out to see the extent of the damage and how it grew back together? I have killed a few bucks that had damage pedicle and it was interesting. Seeing the extent of the damage and then how it grew back. Seen several bucks with broken pedicle during the season with the antler loose and flopping around. Then to see the buck the next with a NT antler on that side. Was lucky enough to take a couple later to see the damage after it was caped out. I even watched a buck for 3 or 4 yrs from age 4 to 7 with a 3rd beam in the middle area of his forehead. He had a caribou shovel there the first year then a single beam the next 2 yrs. He disappeared for 3 or 4 yrs then suddenly was seen and killed. He had the mainbeam in the middle still, but teeth were worn to the gum line. Luckily I still had 2 years of TC pics of him from back years before so we could verify it was him.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

He did not have the extra horn growing when I got pics of him all beat up a few years ago. I'm assuming that injury is the cause of the growth. Unfortunately I don't have the skull. Wish I would of had the taxidermist keep it. He did say it was tough to skin out especially around the ears bc I guess the scar tissue.
