Depends on if any of your deer have above average browtines.Where we hunt it seems you get tall,narrow and heavy or wide,skinny and short the latter having the short brow tines.I've got about 4 bucks that I get pictures of that have a normal left side and a nubbin on the right. The first year or so I was thinking same deer or broke off but it's different bucks.That is what I'm planning on culling on our place.

You're not going to be able to control genetics. Just enjoy what you got.
83% of all statistics are made up.

the 170 inch buck I shot last year had VERY little in brow tines...but GREAT GENETICS. brow tines are not an indicator of genetics or potential at all.

On part of my land about 18 years ago I saw a few bucks with one normal side and a spike on the other. I started shooting every one I saw and in the past couple of years I havn't seen a single one or got any pictures of any. Maybe just a coincidence of nature, but it worked there thus far. Not at all a coincidence, but proof the problem was not hereditary. If it were hereditary, at least 50% of it would have been passed on by mother does and you would have never been able to shoot that out of the female population, hence you would see it forever. In fact, what you did, was kill all the bucks who had that antler configuration, so there are no more of them to see. And by the way, the "spike-on-one-side" situation is almost always caused by an injury to the spike-side's pedicle. Great differences in shape/configuration between left and right antlers is almost never genetic. Deer do not have one set of DNA code for their left antler and a different set of code for their right antler. The just have code for "antlers" and the process of bilateral symmetry grows a mirror image nearly matched pair.

BSK, Last for the last three years, there have been three or four younger bucks with a spike on the deer's left side and a different yet abnormal configuration on the right. We have been able to identify that these deer are indeed different bucks, on camera. Your comment on the pedicle injury makes me wonder if there is another buck which inflicts damage while fighting. Maybe one with a propensity to be a dominant right side fighter. I don't see how that many bucks would suffer an injury to the head on the same side in the same place by something falling on them, etc. what are the odds of that!?
