2021 rut

I've seen several small bucks chasing, but nothing big yet. On another note, how does this buck have one side of all nubs? Were they broke off or did they just grow like that?

Its cold on that side.

They look ‘acorned’. Probably from damage in velvet.

Yep. That’s what I would guess. Other than the G2. Looks like it might have been broken off more recently.

This deer has been behind our house off and on all season. I picked him up 3 miles away at another place I hunt. Anything can happen or show up right now.

I’m getting a few does on camera tonight.
Possibly already bred?

I saw three separate does grazing in fields yesterday evening. All of them by themselves with no bucks around.

Southern Ok appears to be in full swing. This buck has been shot in the neck and looks like he’s doing good.

I wonder if the injury is a puncture from fighting another buck?

Kinda what I was thinking. Possible gore injury?

I was thinking the same thing but there’s one on the other side as well indicating a pass through.
