Broke pedicle

[TNGunsmoke]

When they break one this young, will it heal right and have a normal antler next year, or is he doomed to be an oddball? Never have seen one break it, usually they break the antler off real short and it is fine the next year.

Yikes. I'd guess he's always going to have something funky but no way to know until you see how it goes.

I've heard that pedicle injuries like that can actually cause deer to die.
When he sheds off that broken side, chances are a big piece of skull is gonna break off with it which can lead to brain infections/abscesses.

If he survives, he would have a shot at becoming normal in a couple of years depending on how damaged his pedicle is.
