摘要: Though normal antlers are branched and bilaterally symmetrical, male white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) sometimes develop malformed because of various reasons. As management for antler quality has grown more popular in recent years, there been concern that spike-on-one-side (SOOS) configuration a genetic cause. We hypothesized the majority SOOS artifact injuries to antlerogenic periosteum region. collected 71 specimens over 2 hunting seasons (2010–2011 2011–2012) Alabama, USA, identified probable cause development. confidently assigned 62% specimens, frequency skull and/or pedicle trauma increased with age classes (yearling, 2.5-yr-old, ≥3.5-yr-old M). It was difficult determine reason yearling males developed traits (30%), but ease prescription (76% Based on physiology versus skeletal injuries, we recommended different culling strategies adult according objectives. © 2013 The Wildlife Society.
