Got a few pics this morning of a buck that looks like he was injured in the past. Had to go back and look, i remember getting pics of a deer last year with the same side growing goofy. I was under the impression that a deer would grow a normal rack the year after he was injured…but i know nothing is guaranteed in nature. If it is the same deer I’m assuming he has an injured pedicle?

He does appear to have something going on, on his front left side/chest area. Could just be the picture

Most likely the same buck but the body size looks the same year to year. So with that said, very unsure.

On my Farm, He would’ve been #1 Target!

I don't think it is, the deer from this year is smaller than last years.

I

I thought they looked about the same size in the body as well. I never saw this deer in the stand this year. I saw the deer from last year and he was getting around just fine. Be cool if he grew into something wild next year…I’m very surprised he didn’t get shot this year. Then again, i haven’t seen or had a pic of him until now. Maybe he knows where NOT to roam😂

There is a buck on Michigan buck pole that has a messed up left side like that.

It would be a lot harder to compare body size pic by pic from one year to the next than the antler deformation. The odds of 2 different bucks like that would be pretty low.

Id be surprised on different bucks. Looks like a wound high on his back?

 

[CHASINEYES]

Hard to tell. The first 2023 pic of his he looks all rutted out. Is there something going on with his left ear?

Probably the same buck. I had one do this the last two years, first pictures I got I figured he had injured the antler but the following year it grew the same way. I thought it was a one time thing but apperantly not.

I've got some more pics of him somewhere if I find em I'll post

While out scouting and checking some cams today I got a picture of him. This was on a property over a mile away from where I get his pics during the summer.

Back in 2020 had a similar odd ball in Oakland County.
