sometimes if they damage their scrotum it can cause weird stuff with their horns, but it may be genetic and we need to get that out off the gene pool, how about this weekend >:D

Saw a mount of one like that when visiting a friend in Montana, his son had taken it during rifle season there.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.

I'm with Clint. I have heard them called cactus bucks and coral bucks. I heard what causes it and have a friend in In. who has a shed. I cannot recall what makes it happens. Damaged scrotum can make all sorts of bad things happen!!! >:D

These are named wig bucks (Perückenbock) in Germany; it's caused by a damage of the testicles.
As far as I know they will also not brush of the velvet due to a lack of hormones.

Ok, I thought you were pulling our legs with that one. Looks like someone slapped a wig on a skull. I had to google it and now i believe you. That's crazy.
