Is there any hope?

wow

Since he isn't 13 inches he has a lot of hope in many AR counties!

Looks like he’s already 3 or so, no, no hope.

Great euro mount for deer camp.

I think the backstrap will be the best reward.

I'm sure a kid would love to take him

What County is he in?

I got it! IF you're in an AR county, here is your story....

His left antler kinda looks like it's on bakkerds ... therefore, there was a Pere David deer somewhere in the woodpile. As a hybrid, he is an exotic and legal. Let me know how that works out when you explain it to Mr. Greenjeans....in the meantime, I'm ->

Freak, shoot him. Sure don't want him in the gene pool.

Looks like he has a leg injury.

I saw that but isn't the deformed antler usually on the opposite side of the leg injury?

Seem to me it depends on if it was a front or hind leg injury as to which side antler is effected. The shape of that left beams looks more like a leg injury.

Remember Texas Buckeye, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies!....Thanks Andy!

Injury not genetics

My amateur opinion says it is an injury thing rather than genetics but if you see 2 or 3 more like him you need to get a new place to hunt.
