So how would a dog chaseing deer effect its horn ? It with still have to have some kind of injury to it ?
I'm assuming these dogs don't run does or fawns only bucks in velvet ?

At least that's where I think he was going with it.

That is crazy. This is the most messed up bucks I have seen in the 12 years I have had my place. A friend of mine that takes care of a handful of ranches in my area has noticed this also but all his deer are under 3 yrs old ?
Very disappointing, four of them so far were on hit list this year.
