Not sure why you would cull this deer without knowing why the other side was gone.
This information was not given. I said cull because I can see that one side is missing. This can be from genetics or fighting. Genetics deserve a cull and fighting can cause infection and disease. With no other information and a bad picture, I still say cull.

He could have been injured when he was young or at the beginning of the season thus why it did not grow.
Quite possible. However, that information was not given.

If that is the case his genetics are what you want in the pool.
Clearly.

I put quotations around the word "missing" because I didn't know how else to word it in the title. I have always called these types of deer "fonky horn" deer. I explained in the first post that it appeared to be a vertical point, which to me indicates that it wasn't broken off.
If this would have been on public land, I would have given it more thought. I never really considered harvesting the deer because there is a good chance he has great genetics. This would have been the biggest deer I ever killed if it was anything remotely close to symmetrical.
