It looks like that main beam was broken off. :o

Broken off or an injury that will not allow it to grow. I know that if they suffer a major injury then it will show in horn production on one side. He may have the genetics of a huge deer but an injury when you will always have him making inferior horns.

On the other hand, it may just be broken (or sawed  :D ) off.

I think it was injured, it wasn't broken the part where the main beam should have been was just a knot. It was a legitimate AR buck, it would have never grown the other antler. Notice how the brow tine grows away from the injured area then up.

I believe that East Texas will benefit from the AR rules. I hunt a small acreage place in Tyler County. I am running 7 game cameras on 60 acres. Last year I had 1 buck on camera that would make 13” this year I have had 5 bucks on camera that would make 13”. I do understand that there are some inferior deer that need to be culled, but I guess they will get to die of old age. I would guess that maybe only 1 out of every 30 bucks will never make 13” if we let them grow. I also believe that 90 percent of the hunting population does not know how and will not cull the proper deer if we leave it up to the individuals. I wish that there were enough Game Wardens to properly enforce the AR rule. I don’t think that they should cut anyone any slack, it should be 13” or big ticket. I think that last year was a waste of time because the Game Wardens gave out to many warnings instead of tickets. Most of the people that got warnings will probably kill another under size deer, because there were no real consequences for their actions. Is the 13” rule perfect? No, but it is better than nothing. Now we need to figure out how to stop the poachers.

There will never be a full proof solution for poachers in my opinion. I just don't think that there is enough man power to be out there searching to find enough people every year for other to be concerned about it. I think if many numbers of people were caught or maybe even if the ones that are caught were put in the newspapers and people can see how unworthy it is to poach then I think we will see it be reduced but it doesn't get publicized very well so people think they will not get caught and go out and poach.  I know there are quite a few caught every year and I personally wish the press would bash these guys harder to maybe scare the others from doing it but I guess it is a waist of time for the press to do work like this. Just my opinion though.

And yet another spike bites the dust.
[/quote] I know you are way smarter than most on this web site but, that is not a spike.. Just a deer with an unbranched antler
[/quote]

According to state law, having at least one unbranched antler is a spike.

This from the Texas Parks and Wildlife website:
[b]
"For the purposes of this report, the term "spikes" includes all deer with at least one unbranched antler."[/b]

In different places in the code it is referenced at both a spike and a deer with at least one unbranched antler. The terms are interchangeable.

Now if you want to talk about the common use of the term by Texas deer hunters, it usually means one horn on both sides.

[/quote]WRONG...TPWD defines a spike as "having no more than one point on either antler"
Look it up

No reason to get in a snit. The quote that I posted ([size=10pt][b]"For the purposes of this report, the term "spikes" includes all deer with at least one unbranched antler."[/b][/size]) came directly from the Parks and Wildlife website. Maybe I should call them up and have them remove that quote.

You can call it a spike, no more than one point or an unbranched antler.

Out of curiosity, how would you describe the difference between "no more than one point" and an "unbranched antler"?

I do get what you are saying but I don't see the big deal. During the late anterless/spike season, it says that there can be no branched horns.

Is that good enough for you or do you want to keep quibbling over semantics?

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      By Englebert · Posted

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.
