I suppose the only question one has to ask themselves
do I need to brag or enjoy the moment
this is a little something from last year

“Five days before rifle season for Whitetail Deer and look who I get to see, along with his girlfriend,” the retiree wrote. “A three antlered, nine or twelve point buck (depending if you want to count the two little tines on the right antler, and the small tine on the left antler).”
A large-animal veterinarian who examined the images also believes that they are authentic.
“This buck looks totally healthy, and the buck is normal,” said Dr. Steve Edwards of Lakeview Animal Clinic in Lakeview. “A normal, healthy, good-looking buck. But, yes, there are two antlers coming out one side. Of course, these are antlers — not horns.”
What probably happened, he said, is either as an embryo, before the deer was born, the bud that leads to an antler’s growth, separated into two; or the bud was damaged somehow later in life causing it to split.
Either way, he said, it’s a rare animal and the antlers will grow back this way.
Randi Meyerson, the deputy chief life sciences officer with the Detroit Zoo, added that the deer is an oddity, but there’s likely no harm in hunting it.
Edwards agreed, adding that the meat would be safe to eat, and it would make a good trophy
Thinking Steve wanted a memory more then he needed a trophy
What would you do?
