Good job, congrats to both of you!
Impossible to know, but I suspect it was either a piece of wood trapped under the abnormal burr and the skull (this guy had a TON of wood shavings all over both bases) or old infection from when he got the pedicle damage originally. The amount of pus was only a couple cc's, and there was no indication of underlying infection cosmetically when looking at the head with skin on. Probably would have eventually pointed thru the hide and drained.Nice job! Wonder if that buck had a fight with a barbed wire fence?
