How old is this deer? You can't see his left side very well but it's definitely goofy.

Old. Probably 5.5. That back leg injury, maybe hit by a car?
Good looking buck! Good luck
Cool deer
My neighbor got him. I'm glad one of us, did. I only saw him on camera that one time. From the side his rack doesn't look all that odd. From the front, it tells a different story.
Very cool and glad one of you got him.

Once a deer surpasses 6 to 7 years of age, it will also sometimes take on the appearance of having a "roman nose." In other words, the nose will be rounded off between the eyes and nostrils. Most lose body weight and look younger than their ages.
Copied above for you.
Also Whitetails with strange antler growth usually have been injured. Being on his left side i surmise the injury was on his left or being his leg is injured he could have laid on his side and while the antlers were soft, they became deformed.

I wondered about that. Injury or genetics - hard to say.
odd deer. Probably good that he is dead before winter hit
