Can someone post a pic for me

PM SENT

Been after him a couple years, looks like he’s developed some kind of growth on his forehead, & his neck is sunken in, do y’all think he’s just old or something else goin on

looks like he has some sort of muscle atrophy going on in his upper neck. Cool buck

Looks sick or starving, look at his back bone. Cool looking rack though!!

A lot of times when there is pedicle damage that creates a wild antler, there may also be a cranial abscess that goes with it. Makes me wonder if there isn't an abscess that has spread to the base of the skull where that neck muscle attaches.

If this is the first season that atrophy has been present, I wouldn't be shocked for him to die after casting his antlers this year.

Reckon he’d be ok to eat?

Had a deer one time, when I cleaned it had some kind of a pus looking stuff inside of it, took it to a deer processing buddy of mine to ask him if he ever seen it. He said no, called some biologist from the state to come look at it. They said it was an infection from a disease the deer had that summer. Told me the meat would be fine to eat if you cooked it well. I did not eat any of it? Tried , but the thought was just too much!

I'd just look it over real good. I would imagine all his troubles would be from the neck up. Get the grease hot and let'er rip.

I killed one that looked a lot like that and he only had one nut…

A buddy of mine killed a good buck one time that was like that, but he had small round balls of pus all over his body from the head to his tail when we skinned him out and he smelled really bad....we didn't eat any of that either and the river was up so we dumped the entire body in the river.....

i shot this one in 2019 that a member previous shot a few weeks earlier. I didnt eat any of it

Teeth probably wore out and he's starving

He’s visiting the corn pile pretty often

He won’t have a “package” at all, most likely. Killed a deer in the nineties that looked almost exactly like that. He’s basically a steer.

I thought deer with no balls would stay in velvet & not shed their antlers

Shoot em

Some do
