Nope, that unicorn tine is something else. Looks like it effected the deers eye possibly.

Killed a 4 point that had just one antler on one side before. They was no sign of a antler on the other side. If it did, there would of been a nice 17"+ spread.
Killed a spike that weight in 220lbs before. Spikes were only 3", but at the base, they were like a baseball bat.

I think it happens after a skull plate fracture.

I think I was told the same.
I've seen them with flyers and a tine emerging from the main beam or base but not shooting out of nowhere. I've not seen a tine that appears to be truly separate of the beam like the deer in the OP.

The pedicle area of the skull contains unique material which enables antler growth. Damage to the pedicle results in abnormal antler growth and, interestingly enough, transplanting material from a pedicle to other skeletal regions results in growth of antler tissue in the transplanted area.
quote:
Scientists have transplanted material from a pedicle onto the forehead of mice and caused them to grow antler-like projections. They have also transplanted this material onto the tibia (lower leg bone) of deer and caused them to grow an antler from their leg. I have observed bucks with a third antler arising from their forehead or face that clearly originated separately from their other antlers. Though the buck may have been born with this extra pedicle material, injury to the pedicle or adjacent skull region is more likely the cause.

we've shot several with odd offshoots. typically stems from cuticle damage at the skull during early antler development.
