Check out this buck! He was harvested last year by a friend of Ben O’Neil named Brandon Weidman.
The antler growth was obvious, but the broadhead inside his eye socket was not! This is testimony how tough deer really are!The story that accompany’s this deer is it w as chasing a doe like nothing ever happened. Wow, is all I can say!

Roostem Game Calls
I think they’re the toughest animal out there. I shot a button buck one year and lost it. Well 4 years later in gun season I shot a 153″ nine point and while removing the hide I found a spot that was cut. While inspecting it I remembered the button buck I lost and using a 2 bladed tip it matched. I could see where it entered and left the rib cage. I guess it never hit anything while it passed through.
With that poor antler growth, I’d have to assume that is an old injury. Unfortunately, “old” could mean that the buck was shot very early in his annual growth phase, meaning he could have been shot off-season, illegally. Just a possibility.
