Locked Antlers
Hello,
I found two deer locked together by their antlers. One happens to be a whitetail & the other is a mule deer! I am trying to find out how rare of a find this truly is? I have asked all kinds of people, either no one can tell me or I never get a reply.
Hi Mathew,
While we haven’t documented a case like this ourselves, we have to assume that it happens wherever the whitetail and mule deer populations overlap. We know that whitetails and mule deer interbreed in these areas and therefore have to assume that they establish dominance and a pecking order as well. Hopefully some of our readers will respond to your question.
Warm regards,

It’s been 6 years since I let you know I had a similar set. Ever hear from anyone else?
Hey Stan,
Thanks for reaching out!
I have not heard from anyone else.
