had to distpatch a roe doe [road hit] the other day
and she had the start of 1 antler ,has anyone come across this before ??
i did some reading and it can happen in older barren does
so i went back to were i left her [a week later] and opened her up to have a look
everything seemed in good order, but condition had gone down hill ,to be expected ,
she was pregnant with 2
took some picks with my phone ,not the best picks sorry
antler growth was about 1in high and 1in in dia and covered in fur [not the velvet/ smooth antler type]
the bullet in the picks is a 22.250 for scale
