I bet it did. I bet it was a little hard to see on the left.
DL not trying to high jack ur thread but if I may. I have a pix of a bull with a healed skull that one of the horns where it attaches to the skull must broke off in a fight and then grow so the horn now grows sideways. You can see in pix the broken skull.

mess with another mans women and thats what you get.
Dang, I got something in my eye.
What is the rest of the story? Was it found dead, or was it killed by a hunter?
ugh oh, the fast and light arrow guys aren't going to like that...thats some momentum! grin

I remembered seeing that a few years back. I did a quick Google search and found the story from 2011. Just click the embedded link.
Does that count as an extra point? Lol!
A friend killed a 5x1 in Colorado years back. The heavy one point side was not located where it should be and the pedicle was farther forward and slightly towards the center.
My son found the skull of a bull one year in the same general area while looking for a bull that a hunting partner had hit. This skull also had this characteristic, although the antlers were not as large and had multiple points. Still, the one antler was not growing where it was supposed to be. We had that one in front of our house in a garden around a flag pole. Someone apparently thought they needed it more than we did and took it.....
It makes me think that its a genetic thing rather than an injury thing....

Amazing! For some reason the splinter in the joint of my right thumb doesn't hurt as much now.
Now that would be a cool euro mount!
Cool as hell for sure.
An old taxidermist friend of mine has found all kinds of stuff in whitetail deer. I've seen about 2.5" tine pulled from the brisket of one buck. He's also found quite a few bh's.
Ouch! I once shot a buck with a broadhead imbedded in its skull. It entered juts behind the right ear and just the trocar tip was sticking out between his eyes. It had been in there a long time and he was none the worse for the wear except he was blind in his right eye. Shawn
Tough critters!!!
My ex brother in law shot a whitetail buck with an old 3 blade snuffer imbedded in a neck vertebrae. The bone had fused through the vents of the broadhead. I still can't believe that shock didn't rupture the spinal cord.
Here's one that seems unfazed by the antler b
A friend of mines son shot this guy. I wish I could have seen the entire skull. The small hole was where his eye was. The injury tweaked his entire skull so his eye was looking forward.
This put a new twist to that old saying "better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick".
