    Is that permanent velvet? There was a stag in a park at Carterton that had permanent velvet.

    Usually due to a damaged Testicle it happens quite often with roe deer.

    Now I'm glad I don't slow down when I'm going through Norsewood looks like the locals have had a fair whacking with the ugly stick
    Almost looks like it's been petrified

    Here is a better photo and the hunter is no dwarf like me. If I held the sheild up it would look twice the size.
