We all love a big 8 or 10 pt. buck that scores well. But who likes the odd ball horns. I love the goofy 5 pt. or the crazy spike that is not normal. If you have shot one show us..........

Here is the goofiest one I have ever taken. We named him 3-Horn. He is a double main beam 4x4x4! The brow tine on the beam with the tag on it is 10 1/2" long!

I'd hate to but heads with them
Wow...there are some cool freaky whitetails out there...
terry...that boy looks to have a little muskox in him
Cool bucks! Bisch, that is one of the craziest racks I've ever seen.
I only have trail camera pics of odd racks, never killed one.
Cool bucks guys..
I took this photo last December on a late archery hunt...pretty cool

Yep......that's what I'm talking about.......I love the odd ball stuff!!!!!! :thumbsup:
I didn't get him, but last season I had an elk sneak up behind me; he had a good 6 point antler on his left side, and a spindly looking spike on his right. He was a strange looking duck, for sure.
Bisch, were you hunting anywhere near Chernobyl when you shot that deer?
Here is a goat that I tried to shoot last season; the core from his right side is completely missing.

I never could figure out what happen too this deer. My guess it kind of looks like road rash from getting hit since it is on his jaw also.

This little buck has an antler growing out by his eye up to his ear. I saw him twice while hunting.

Passed on this buck in 12' then never saw him in person again til this year. Hopefully he comes back again next year for another try.

I actually thought this was a huge doe from my position on the ground.
Pretty neat head gear
9yr old buck!

This buck had a third main beam right side that I filmed him with but had broke it off by the time I shot him. Had a cool tine coming up off his head and damage to the beam while in velvet.

Cool shed, brow tine grew out of his base and was cracked all the way down to the base

We watched this buck grow up, at 3.5 he grew a third beam
(http://i904.photobucket.com/albums/ac248/TmPotter47/FC401182-9E55-453D-83CB-7A14D8823B3A_zpshezruynp.jpg) (http://s904.photobucket.com/user/TmPotter47/media/FC401182-9E55-453D-83CB-7A14D8823B3A_zpshezruynp.jpg.html)
But The next year he didn't grow it back but kept a a huge right base. Started hunting him at 5.5 in this pick and gave him a name.

He will be 7.5 this year and we still haven't got him, still growing. I won't show anymore cam picks because you asked for harvest animals. If cam picks are ok I can show years of cool racks from many deer several 3 beam bucks also.
Nice deer and picks everybody!

Tracy you guys have got some monsters around there. Great pics!
I posted this to see crazy and goofy horns, if they are not kills that's ok by me! :thumbsup:

Since it doesn't need to be a kill ... here is a very awesome and unique shed rack from NW Idaho
I was wondering if Tracy was going to post some of his pics. :wavey:
You guys ain't seen nothing yet... :thumbsup:
WOW elkken, just WOW!!
The strange part is he is actually a 10pt and even more strange is he is only a year and a half old. He still had his milk tooth which is lost at 1.5yrs. The lower jaw below the rack is his, showing the tri-cuspate tooth.

This is an awesome thread! I love that oddball stuff too even though I've never shot one. Keep them coming.
Maybe this doesn't count as the right antler was likely just broken off from fighting.

Wow TJ - that dude would have been lethal in a fight with all that junk at his bases!!!!
Check this fella out... A really close friend of mine found this guy dead along a creek one week into bow season while he was kayaking. No apparent wound - had been dead less than a day or two. Awesome double beam rack. I wish I would have taken a photo with me holding it for scale. It's a huge rack - just look at how small the skull plate looks. It's a solid 150" frame shape. Awesome rack, I would have loved to have seen him on the hoof.

On the small farm I grew up hunting there was a genetic trait of a spike on the left side of many of the bucks for a good 5 year span. In early season when you'd see the bachelor groups it would go from a nice "would-be" 8 pt. down to a spike - all would have a 4 or 5 spike on the left side, and the right antler grew larger and normal each year.
Kstrapper those are some monsters!
Great thread everyone's!
Cool thread.
This one had an infection in the skull at the base of the antler. When I skinned it there was puss coming from a hole in the bone near the antler. It didn't go through to the brain. You can see the hole in the first and third pic.

What a brute ceme24.
Am I seeing correctly??? Does that buck have a third antler growing in the center of his head?
Yeah. It's weird. It comes out of the base of its left antler but has skin all around it so looks like a third antler. Really interesting deer

Dang thing had velvet inside as it couldn't scrape it off... looked more like some antelope I shot in MT.
Now to me, and my view, that is ODD...I'd give a left one t o see, let alone shoot AT any of the above you guys posted! Crikey!
Course, that was central PA where 80% o f bucks are spikes...from 3" to 16" bladed and 140# bodies! :(
