I know that you and another guy got a look at him. The other saw him in his headlights and tried to get a picture one night. I agree it looks more like a paddle dangling off there. I hope he made it through the season.
I just couldn't get him on the right side of the fence for a hero shot!
I figured somebody was feeding him bird seed and would have a better picture then I do.
He is a whopper. I know the picture doesn't show it, but his good side is a typical 5 with looong tines. The messed up side is a cluster of points as well as the "canoe paddle". He's the coolest buck I've seen around these parts!
You sure someone didn't just impale a boomerang in the side of his head. Maybe they were trying to herd him on the 'right' side of the fence...............
