    As above I am no expert and I will happily be corrected with citation but I am fairly sure a "Humel" is the result of lack of testosterone being produced, stags castrated in velvet stage never harden and strip and stags castrated before sexual maturity never develop antlers.

    This is all just from my foggy forgettery but I am sure a stiff googling will clear it all up.

    Nelson the land of the 4 year old spiker.

    They both just look like shitty spikers/prickets to me. @Tahr s one I have shot and seen others shoot many similar stags.....Nelson has shit genetics and in some areas very shit mineral belts as far as heads are concerned.
    Neither of the heads look uncommon to me.
    Agreed. Im certain mine was a spiker and Ive seen others similar.

    Likewise I'm no oracle on deer, but I was told by a well-known expert that a Humel is the result of an animal who suffers significant damage to the testicles early in life, be it during birth, an accident, or during a fight. The lack of testosterone inhibits the growth of antlers and instead the animal bulks up and will usually be noticeably larger - so yes, pretty much as @veitnamcam stated above.

    I guess they would probably also be cross-eyed and walk funny.
