Nice certified Rob buck there. Interesting about the velvet. It should be interesting if it later sheds.

Most likely the result of a past injury to the deer's right side.. Be cool to see if it sheds or not..

I've got tons of pictures of this deer from the past season when it was a half racked spikehorn;and lots of pictures of it as it grew through this summer.No signs of injury then ,or now.I'm thinking it is in its genes.

Sometimes an injuries only "scar" is seen only through his antlers.. I'd bet a large amount of money that his antler growth is from a previous injury or sickness..
