Ok I am not the biggest and badest deer hunter but I came across something I have not seen in person in about 10 years this last weekend. I saw a deer still in velvet so I shot it. When I walked up to it I looked at its genitals and well he did not have any balls. I took a few bad pics and they are posted in the link below. (You can also see the entry and exit wounds my 30-06 did to his neck.) I eventually will take some better pics of the horns the base of the horns were starting to get very thick because they don’t ever shed them, they just keep growing. I just thought this was cool and a little unusual so I thought I would like to share it with everyone.

there are three of each pic because my camera was set to take 3 in a row and I don’t know how to change it.

That's a pretty strange deer Rob? It almost seems as if it's been cut, like barring a hog. The still in velvet really stumps me!!!

Poor fella has been shooting blanks his whole life!:D

Ive heard of does with spikes before but nothing like this. Should have sent so samples into the state wildlife office.
