Seems that this deer injured his G2 about a week ago. Question is, Will it keep growing? Haven't seen this before.

Seen it quite a bit. I have seen them fill up with blood looking like a club or bat and then break off. If it is not full of blood already I doubt it will fill up. Seen them stay broken or bent over like that and keep growing a bit. Most likely will break off when he rubs out or in the rut if it does the latter. I have also seen them kick a point off at the break that will grow upwards.

All depends on how it is broken. If it only broke "internally", it will probably just stay there until he sheds. I've seen them break and tear the velvet and they usually get all nasty and the piece will fall off. They can also get a blood infection from busted velvet and die from it. And they are antlers, not horns....
