Explaining Deer Antler Abnormalities Bowhunter The trauma to the pedicle, just as the antler starts to grow, can be caused by most anything. the buck may just bump his head on a tree limb or by sparring with another buck. growing antlers are subject to damage that affects the resulting antler, and double main beams is one such outcome. We do know that most abnormalities are caused by injuries such as damage to a buck's pedicle, damage to the antler during the velvet stage, or even an injury to a buck's hind leg.
Explaining Deer Antler Abnormalities Bowhunter People who enjoy deer hunting or watching wildlife often admire antlers as symbols of health, strength, and good genetics. when antlers grow in strange, uneven, or incomplete ways, most believe it’s due to past injuries. In this report we characterize pcd pathomorphology and introduce a scoring system to differentiate it from other deformities. moreover, we argue that the most common anomalies such as fractures,. Growth of antlers is very rapid and some deer are capable of growing nearly 1 inch of antler per day. antler abnormalities are pedicle injuries, main beam injuries, and body injuries. pedicle injuries are commonly from a blow on the head at birth, or in the womb. Although most bucks grow typical racks, abnormalities that produce nontypical antlers aren’t rare. demarais and strickland said injuries, genetics or health cause most antler abnormalities. identifying those causes, however, sometimes requires a necropsy, or internal examination, after a buck dies.

To investigate the antler anomalies in hungarian cervidae populations—including fallow deer (dama dama, dd), roe deer (capreolus capreolus, cc), and red deer (cervus elaphus, ce)—we described a chronic inflammatory disease—named pedunculitis chronica deformans (pcd)—of the pedicle. Antlers are unique to cervids (deer family), and deformities are commonly reported by hunters and wildlife professionals throughout north america. anecdotally, they are more commonly reported in white tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus) than mule deer (odocoileus hemionus). Many amazing antler traits start from broken bones, ruined nerves, or shredded muscles. and no matter their size or source, all antler abnormalities draw scrutiny. did that narrow hollow in the main beam start with the jab from a sharp stick or a wood tick lodged in antler velvet?. This article aims to provide information about antlers in terms of their growth and associated abnormalities, and discusses the particular issues faced by practitioners when dealing with castrated deer (especially reindeer) and orphan male calves.
