Hey Ya'll,
I'm new here but I figured this question was too good for me to pass up on asking. Last weekend a buddy from work killed a buck and I've never seen or heard of anything like it. This thing had a picture-perfect "typical" 8-point rack on it, with a southern Alabama average size 18-inch spread. But it also had (growing from it's head, inside the 8-point rack) another 6-point rack. When he showed me the pictures I didn't know what to say.
I know this can't be a normal thing. Have any of ya'll ever heard of anything like this? How do you score this deer? Why does this happen?
Now before ya'll start, I should tell you I am not a native of Alabama, so I've already told him most of the "Alabama inbreeding" jokes I can think of. Mainly I want to know how rare this is and why it happens, but I'll accept some good "bama" jokes to add to my list if you have to.
Don't shoot at critters wearing orange!!!
