Thread: Who has heard of a humell and is this one?

back when they first started putting mature farmed stags out for safari..they ran into a massive issue...stags who had previously been velveted every year had never grown the strength of bone around the antler peticle to fight with the by now heavy set of antlers they had grown..many ripped skull apart and died...this is why we now see many stags in hard antler running around paddocks..they are building bone strength etc for when they go out on the hill to be shot lol....
plenty of deer around with damaged antlers the electric outriggers on fences are leathal for damaging velvet and fallow dont see a wire netting fence as an obsticle..its just a series of hole with wire around it....
at one stage I had photos on my phone (too blurry to bother posting) of a yearling/2year old white fallow in mid air as it went through a deer netting fence..it ran full throttle at fence ,jumped and sailed straight through it like it wasnt there.....had it had velvet...it may well have taken it off.
fallow are terrible around fences,many get caught up n die so its not improbable your fella damaged himself at some point in life and never recovered from it.
