Legal or not?

[Lonesome Dove]

Hey guys I have this buck where I hunt I’ve seen him for three years now and he’s obviously not normal. Thing is the reg’s state that a branched antler and a spike are good to go. This dude looks like two points on the blunt antler but is it technically two points being that it’s a defect or from an injury perhaps?.
I call him Pronghorn. What do you think?

Is the spread less than 13"?

I think that he is very cool looking.

Sorry, no insight.

I think it would be close if it was measured from the stub horn to the widest part of the branched antler. But I’ve miscalculated before. Don’t know how you would really measure it. Reason I’m asking for thoughts. It’s hard to let him walk al the time.

Aah, let him live

Is that the way he looks every year?

If he looks like that every year, I'd be talking w/a GW if you're in an area where he'd be technically illegal because of spread. He's got genetic issues that will likely carry down - he should've been taken out long ago. That's the biggest problem with "minimum spread" counties - trash bucks like this get to survive and breed.

Yes Three years now

TxR is exactly right. He needs to go if you can.

He needs to die yesterday.

You cant let that one spread his Genes to any more generations

Spread looks less than 13" from the pic. If you are in an antler restricted county, that would be illegal...assuming the picture is providing good information.

But if he accidentally got run over.......

I don't hunt so I'm, ignorant about this.

The deer resides on private property but I’m not gonna kill it just to rid of it.

Eat him if it makes you feel better

Maybe that's what Deer antlers are supposed to look like.
All the others are mutants.

Theres definitely some mutation on the other end if the spectrum as well. Theres some 300"+ monsters out there for the right price.

Is it on your property?
