    Poison isn't used to control deer (I'm 99% certain it's illegal to directly target deer with 1080 (they can be bykill)) so numbers don't lead to poison it happens anyway.

    Then your bragging about hammering stags and having a sook and threatening to go waste a bunch of deer and meat because someone brought up their opinion on a public forum. What a bloody ninny. I just brought up my POV. I didnt dictate what anyone can do I have no right too but I have every right to bring up the discussion with which anyone can do with as they wish. Hell I think you may find I openly said he's done more to control population that I have for sure. I just think its nice to leave stags to grow to the point they can mature as it makes a far better trophy (even the ones with poorer genes) that a rack of 50 plus toddlers hanging in the shed unappreciated.
    Pretty much met in the middle my point is each to their own as it is yours

I'd made the decision not to take a stag this roar but maybe I should maybe 6 fallow kick em all in a gorge feed the eels what ever spins the wheels
    And absolutely punctuation missed the bus on that tangent.

    If the pedicle is normal it is generally damage during velvet growth that causes a mis-shapen antler, not a genetic fault.
    The big old Red a couple of posts up appears to have broken his pedicle in the past ( normally fighting), the pedicle having re-set in a dropped position due to the weight of the attached antler at the time. Subsequent antlers growing out of that pedicle being at a funny angle. A great trophy

    Yup both good animals now out of the herd, likely both are injurys but out of the gene pool regardless. Name:  20210407_180714.jpg

    Hey fellas, top animal, was missing his rear left hock below the joint, highly likely the reason for poor right side antler. Would've been really nice if he was matching on the poor side.

    Other stag I'm I'm guessing genetics as I saw a younger stag with similar head gear likely his progeny.
