    I have the feeling that he is a plain Rusa stag with a non typical head... a freak. Like a calf or a lamb born with an extra leg or a West Coast two header.

    Even his other antler is non typical of the species.

    When we were hunting Ohutu Ridge years ago there were a few stags there that had heads though only two antlers they spikes sticking out of them like porcipines... 20 or more points sometimes.

    It was some genetic abnormality obviously..We originally thought it was frost damage I dont remember now how we came up with that conclusion.
