Drove out to Norsewood today to see this big ugly head.

Is that permanent velvet? There was a stag in a park at Carterton that had permanent velvet.
Usually due to a damaged Testicle it happens quite often with roe deer.
Yeh, I'd be rather dark from being kicked in the balls.
Very odd indeed.
@Dundee. Is that heavy pearling?
That is ugly!
Now I'm glad I don't slow down when I'm going through Norsewood :O_O: looks like the locals have had a fair whacking with the ugly stick
Almost looks like it's been petrified
Yeah it was a velvety,they reckoned it was caused by damaged ball sacks! Photo doesn't do the justice it was huge.
Here is a better photo and the hunter is no dwarf like me.:D If I held the sheild up it would look twice the size.:thumbsup:

I'm glad someone shot that thing, I think I would shit myself if I came across that on a dark night :huh:
Do you have any more info? Was it shot recently? Be cool to see a photo of entire deer
Looks more like...

Definitely a red deer?

I would be proud to have hunted that stag. Awesome special head. Good on him.
'Peruke' is the term, got some size to it thats for sure.
The animal at large.

Shane is 1.69 metres
Yeah, nah, that would not be going straight to the pool room. Implement shed maybe.
It's uckin fugly for sure!
many years ago I saw a pet stag that had been castrated as a 4 year old when it became very aggressive and it grew a very similar head next season and never lost it -was in permanent velvet with same head rest of days
Kinda looks like coral.
Look at this one then. Was actually able to be scored and came in second highest scoring non typical whitetail.
Didnt stay in velvet though
