Could of been a deadly fight

thats brutal

 thats a tough deer. looks like it was pretty fresh too.  did you see the fight?

That poor cape

No it was already healed in one spot al least a week old.

Kind of makes my skin crawl thinking about what it would feel like to have your eye poked out with an antler.

I used (some would say wasted) my tag once on a deer that was all crippled up and couldn't walk from either a fight with another deer or a barbwire fence and I would do the same regardless of size if I saw something like this. I know nature takes its course and all and I usually preach that when talk about the poor animals in a hard winter comes up, but even I have to show a little mercy every now and then.

Call me Mr. Sensitive.

Not trying to contradict what you say, but my first thought when i seen it(before looking at your caption) was a bullet wound. Any chance?

No thats what i thought to when i walked up i thought i might of flinched. But it was a standing shot with a rest and a 300 leaves a big hole when hit in the head. Part of the wound is already healed. there is a hole behind the ear that is alraedy healed up and it was starting to heal around the eye.

Somebody else could have shot him in the eye before you

Is it possible for a wound like that to heal that quick from a gun shot. It was shot on wed. night  5 or 6 days.

Ill be skinning his head out tonight to start a euro. That should be able to tell what it was.

It seems to straight to be a horn from fightin...if i had to say i would say it was a bullet.
