Anyone else seen a curved nose buck?

[Kriv923]

Arrowed my first buck this year, turns out he had a curved nose. Curious if it was any sort of impairment for his sense of smell.

Thought it was interesting enough to share and see if anyone else has ran into this before.

I would just setup to his left for a quartering wind advantage

Unbelievable zinger. I almost slipped on my platform when I read it. 1K points to House Bigterp.

Looks like a couple mma fighters or hockey players that I know. Probably broke it and regrew it all side-stance. Bonus points if he had cauliflower ear.

I've seen one with a broken nose before but never one with that much bend. Really cool variation.

You might want to get a bigger boiling pot?

He probably ran into the side of a vehicle at some earlier point in his life. Cool euro mount.

Did it look that obvious with the hide still on?
Any pics?

It wasn’t as obvious, but you can definitely tell

Maybe he was in the Mob ?

Oh he’s definitely a fighter. That’s a break from a scuffle.

Never seen anything like that before. Maybe he was chasing a doe at top speed and she pumped the brakes??

Awesome! Never seen/heard of that before. Definitely makes for a unique euro mount! Congrats on arrowing your first buck

Mystery solved! Check out the video below at the 2 second mark....

That is very cool I never saw that before either and I’ve been hunting for a long time.

Must have been a hockey player. Throw that euro on a 'skull hooker' and call it good!

I shot a 9 point in 2013 with my bow (out of a saddle!) and took it to a guy for a European mount. He called me all excited and said it’s face was full of shotgun pellets and it’s nose was crooked. He was able to preserve some of the pellets in the skull mount. It’s nose wasn’t as crooked as your buck but definitely noticeable. I have it in storage behind all the kids Christmas presents, and if I remember I’ll post a pic after I can access it.

By the way, curved nose or not that’s a nice buck you shot!

Wonder if he had those cauliflower ears as well?

Look at post 272 and 275 from this thread.... https://saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/team-3-thread.40976/page-14#post-589318
