went back to the lease this weekend. Got more pics of the buck with no horns for the DB's that claimed it was photoshopped. They are starting to grow but extremely late. Included a pic of him with a cull 8 point to show the difference.
Dates and times are correct but pictures aren't in order

Some friends of mine (150class) hunted a place outside of Freer that every wet summer they would have 1 or 2 bucks not grow horns due to some plant they would eat in the summer. Luckily they were able to notice/pick up on it, as the 1 buck that had it happened to was one of the bigger deer from the year before, they shot him the next year and he went 188"

I had a one year old that lost velvet as a 4 pointer then lost both horns within the week after. Horns looks formed correctly but after velvet loss looked a bit darker then usual. Maybe he got some type of infection in them at the end. He has a twin who ended up a 6 point but he's kept his horns so far. I have haven't noticed if he's growing anything back yet.
That's so weird that one is growing out. Same deer with the split left ear. Maybe a hormone issue.

Had 2 mature bucks walk out 200 yards apart Wearing bumps for headgear and still they recognized each other as adversaries and brizzled up in Mex. I shot them both For the Cowboys family. Long time ago before I had lease mates or cameras and decisions were made on the spot. The ranch owner supported the decision. Don’t know what caused it but what are the odds 2 walk out the same day same sendero.
