“Five days before rifle season for Whitetail Deer and look who I get to see, along with his girlfriend. A three antlered, nine or twelve point buck (depending if you want to count the two little tines on the right antler, and the small tine on the left antler). I don’t recall ever seeing a three antlered deer before.”
A veterinarian, Steve Edwards of Lakeview, says the deer is normal and healthy. Edwards says it’s possible that something happened when the deer was an embryo before birth. He tells the Detroit Free Press that the three-antler deer is probably a “one-in-a-million thing.”
The traditional deer hunting season starts Friday.
