Fine buck! Is that a hole in the antler near the end of the left beam?
Get the F out of the BATFE. The F is guaranteed by the US Constitution. Those other letters are not.

Fine buck! Is that a hole in the antler near the end of the left beam? yes I don't know if he broke it off in velvet or if it's just genetic. I thought he was a 7 since September when i started getting him on camera but where that hole is forked off so im calling it an 8 hes got a 22 inch spread nicest deer I've ever seen on our club in 6 years

Kip Adams with QDMA lends some insight on the holes in antlers, and it's not genetic: So what actually causes them? It is unlikely they are caused by a “boring fly” or other insect, but rather the result of an injury to the growing antler. I asked some of the best minds in deer research if they were aware of any studies identifying the cause of holes in antlers. Neither Dr. Bubenik nor John Ozoga nor Drs. Grant Woods or Karl Miller were aware of a single study. I have observed deer at captive research facilities with blood on the surface of an injured velvet antler. This blood often attracted flies and may be the cause of speculation about the role of flies in this scenario. In the few cases I observed, the bucks injured their antlers on a fence and the flies arrived afterward. The above researchers suggested the likelihood of the holes being injury induced. https://www.realtree.com/all/articles/antler-trivia

Nice buck!!Congrats
Just curious as to why there is no blood coming out of his mouth.
Is that due to shot placement? Like a dropped him in his tracks shot?
Thanks he made it about 10 yards before he fell over I looked for 5 minutes and couldn't find an entrance wound but had an exit wound about 4 inches behind his left shoulder which would be about right for a front quarter shot since he was broadside but slightly facing me. But there was plenty of blood out mouth and nose after I started moving him
