I think this is the one you're talking about. Yes, in summary, the majority of the SOOS deer studied could be attributed to injury if you make an allowance that previous studies have shown body injuries to result in odd antler development. Remember, this study only looked at the skull plate. The author states that an allowance has to be made for bodily injury which couldn't be seen on the skull plate. Factor those things together and it basically says that SOOS is not a genetic trait. As far as science is concerned there is high probability that all SOOS deer are due to injury.
