Shed Mystery: Wounded or Shrinking?

That's an interesting question! It's hard to say without seeing the shed in person. It could be either of those possibilities, or something else entirely.

That’s a awesome looking shed!

Judging by the base, it doesn’t look like a mature buck on the decline. I think he’s just a freak, haha. Awesome find👊

that's an awesome find!!

Welcome to new jersey we have more jacked up racks then normal

Just a big cow horn

Idk if it’s a NJ thing but I’ve seen a lot of bucks over the past few years that are giant spikes that are definitely 2.5 years old a lot of bucks with barely any tines just a good large main beam wonder if it’s the food here

Wow!

What a cool find! Could be a buck on the declining rack. I could be wrong but it doesn’t seem like a deformity during velvet because (usually) there would be more evidence of a deformed tine on the main beam but I don’t see any!
