Deer antlers do not have "roots" like your teeth do. If it broke off, it would either be a jagged or a straight break. This website is good about only posting stories that have been verified. If you have sound PROOF that it's NOT what the author suggests, please bring it forward. Because it's not something you've seen before, does it mean it's not real. very heard of two headed snakes? Just because you're not educated on how something like this actually happens in the wild does not mean that it does not happen. Ben, I agree with Don on this one.

They're not trees. Antlers grow from pedicles, which are part of the skull. The "root" you refer to looks for like un-shed velvet that skull. Ben, since when did deer antlers start having roots?

The root base of the other antler is clearly on the third antler.... its broken off another deer, whether in a fight, or shot and landed on it. IDK, but it is not another antler growing through the head. I see no evidence of a droptine coming through the head, no picture of it.

It even has pictures of the skinned skull and it is most definitely a third antler growing from somewhere around the eye socket. Not a broken off antler from another deer.

I call him the London Unicorn. Shot it London, Texas. I have 50 acres there. If anyone would like to see him, just let me know.
