Unusual buck taken south of Fort Peck Dam

Full story: Glasgow Courier

Chris Morrow shows the unusual antler growth on the mule deer buck he took Oct. 30. Such a buck is called a "cactus" buck or a "stag." The condition is caused by the castration of the adult male, which makes it unable to lose the velvet or shed its antlers.
