I thought this was kind of interesting. Saw pics of this little 4x4 buck in June with most of his right beam dangling. Couldn't tell if it was broken or just growing in the wrong direction. In the 6/27 pic you can see the dropping beam on his right side with two tines curling at their tips. Then in the 7/07 pic, the same beam is missing entirely, above the brow. Not really sure but possible he had a crash of some kind, injuring the rack. Seems kinda rare for this to happen, from what I've seen in the past. From my understanding they're usually real careful with their antlers while in velvet, and so they don't fight or spar or rub trees until the velvet sheds and the antlers are hard.
