Freak from the YO...

Age & score guesses?

thats kinda nasty

That deer's head and neck looks like it ran through an old fashioned clothes wringer.

I think Id a wore gloves.

whats wrong waffles?

You better have popped up a bunch for this post.

DAYUM!! What happened to him?

I got a feeling his net score and gross score are going to be MILES apart!

Intresting looking buck though.

Debating on a answer to the question.

My dad is the one who shot him. I believe he had somewhere around 18 points overall with all of the trash.

That don't look right. Definitely will score gross! Interesting though. Looks like a dead deer photo shopped on another deer's body. Just wierd! Is that ground showing between the head and the body?

He needed to die!

Freak for sure.

Is he going to mount him?

Absolutely! Probably will never see another like him.

That's what it looks like to me too.


Very, very strange.

Thats a 'tarded deer.

I can assure there is no photoshop involved.

By the look of that deers face and ears I dont think I would be handling it without gloves

Thats the ugggggliest I have ever seen!! That being said I would have shot him too.

Only seeing 15 scoreables I see him in the mid 130's at least. Can't really tell how to score the left beam and points not knowing what is the brow tine. So he should be around 140. Deer appears to have been stuck in a fight and going down hill. Hard to tell on his age due to his body condition. What is the story on this buck?

Not sure of the story completely, but he was definitely on the way down. Left side mushrooms straight off the skull before the main beam continues upward. I was told over 9" on the base of left beam.

That is one NASTY, ugly, rack, but pretty kewl wall hanger. CONGRATS TO DAD!

JJ

What the heck is wrong with that thing

?????

looks like a dove that got shot too close and the dog mouthed it a bit before bringing it back!

I would say he scores around 130. Almost impossible to say age by a photo being the deer looks like it got ran over. Teeth would be the better age guide here.

That dead deer looks very dead, like he had already started decomposing.

are you hunting mason co??

Something seems fishy. I agree with the decomposing post.

Reason I asked about mason co, my wife sent me this pic. coworker shot in mason co. said there was 3 others that looked the same.

Looks like a really old man!! Congrats to you Dad.

That's fugly

strange one

Wash your hands with soap!

Did he have any teeth? Looks like he may have been around since the time of Moses........

Now thats what I envision a chupacabra looking like!

More pictures...

Freak

That thing looks like he was blind in one eye and couldnt see out of the other and his ears are in bad shape aswell. That must be why he got got couldnt hear or see anything coming.

Looks to be a very old deer in decline. His coat looks a lot like the northern deer do when they are putting on the winter coat. Any chance he is of northern strain? Definitely has cataracts in at least on eye. Be interesting to see how old he ends up being. A biologist from TPDW or A&M would love to see this deer. Keep us posted!

Exactly what I was thinking. Ugliest deer I have seen. Not talking about the rack just the body. I would have shot him also.

Stxranchman, do you know of any disease that deer are capable of that could cause that kind of look?

He might better shoot that sucker in the head, cause if it's one of them Zombiedeer, he could wake back up and eat your dad!

Why you gotta go making me all hungry like that?

Seriously, I might have shot that thing a couple extra times if it were me. It's so ugly it's infuriating.

I am not sure that thing is even a deer! I would lock my doors!

That's a stag it has very tiny balls...don't know if its genetic or environmental, but we clean shop on them in late Dec in mason... Shot any where from 3-10 a year

The only thing I can think of is this deer escaped from the Florida Everglades from trying to be swallowed alive. Got these pics in an email today.

Deer looks like he has seen better days.

Do you hunt next to Pet Semetary?

Very interesting. Was he gimpy, have any obvious vision issues??

speechless

I heard he was named "LUCKY".

Inbreeding will do weird things to genetics

This deer looks like he has been dead for quite a while and his head chewed on by the coyotes! I have never seen such a pitiful looking deer.

he was bit by a chuppa

You did him a favor.

Hope your dad has a good taxidermist.

You guys have GOT to stop hunting by the nuclear power plant!

wicked sucker for sure

ac

you asked age and score


i say hes ruffly 6.5 A.D.
and scores 6ft under

Congrats to the hunter. Thats a big deer.

New cape...same old trashy antlers!

Hopefully he ain't gonna eat any of the meat

face rot

I would really like to see the 100%age on this buck looks like he had a rough night (drinking) but just looks like the poor bastard couldn't even walk lol glad somebody killed it that thing would scare you outa your stand

Man that's gnarly looking. Definitely did a good deed by shooting him.

That being said, it's still a nice deer, definitely unique

score=freak

I sorry, I know of NO taxidermist that can fix that. It looks like a donkey with a deer nose. You really sure you want that on your wall to look at. Thats called FUGLY. Are you going to look at it through 3d glasses.

Guess you missed the part about a NEW CAPE.
