Check out the horns on this buck!

The American cowboy and maybe the natives too, have occassionally casterated young buck deer that they captured, such as is done with cattle to increase growth. One significant effect of this "cutting" causes very unusual antler shapes and growth.
I'm not sure; but I think they were considered "Stags" or some other label.

Onryness or boredom...who can say?

Coltman, out here we call those fellas, catus bucks. And your right they develop strange racks. From what I have heard, they do eat well. Never had a chance to at a catus buck, yet.

Yelp we can't kill them here

The American Plains Indians had a legand elk and buffalo would sometimes cross mate. I strongly suspect a mutation where a buffalo had forked horns or elk had a single horn.
