Recommended Posts

My boy found a 2 horned shed today and I finally found a decent 6 point. The bases were seperate but attached below.

Great finds! Next to each other they look like Beauty and the...well, let's just say it definitely has lots of character.

 

FYI - The website below has an article called "Abnormal Antlers and Pedicles in Rocky Mountain Elk in Northern Arizona". The scientist who wrote it lists many causes of abnormal antler growth but was looking for a genetic link. She never found it. It seems that her best guess for a cause (if I read the article right) was a pedicle that gets injured in a fight with another bull which in turn makes next year's antler grow funny out of the injured pedicle. No word if a bull with such an injury can ever grow normal antlers out of that pedicle again.
