I have seen older bucks develop a Roman nose before but not like this one. His teeth showed 8+ yrs old. Almost looks like it could be some kind of skeletal defect. Pics really don't do it justice. Anyone seen this before.

Extreme Roman nose buck?

One of two things:
1. He broke it somehow. That's how it healed.
2. Sometimes, they get Calcium build ups there. I've got a Roman nosed buck that had this.
You'll know when you take all the skin and meat off the head.
Side Note: Look at those front knee joints. I assume you photo-shopped his cane/walker out of the picture?Last edited by SB09; 12-21-2015, 09:23 AM.

What did his knees look like? We have one on camera that we believe is very old with an obvious Roman nose like yours and his knees look like there's a tennis ball under the skin. Looks like an old man limping around as he walks. His antlers have really gone down hill this year, only a 10"+/- spread 6pt but pretty good mass. Last year he had a bunch of non-typical points but broke everything off except 2stumps by November 1.
