hey ya'll just got a question for ya! a friend of mine, whao runs a butcher shop, stopped by my house a while back and showed me pics of a monster 180 class 10 point with just about as typical proportion i have ever seen. the strange thing was it was still completely covered in velvet. he wanted to know why i thought this was. i studied the pic for quite a while and the velvet was not dried or flaking off and appeared to look just like an early september set of antlers. the only conclusions that i could come up with was that he possibly could have sustained a neck injury at sometime during the summer and was unable to rub it off byt then i thought no that can't be because eventually blood flow would be lost on the antlers and the velvet would die. so then i thought that it could be because possibly one of his testicles or both had been injured. i did some research and found out that this kind of kind of injury can cause something similar to this, what they call "cactus bucks", where the antlers don't really ever quit growing. but i found that most "cactus bucks" are non-typicals. so what do you think?
