We stopped on the shores of Jackson Hole Lake while kayaking and discovered this weird looking elk skull with non-typical antlers. One side looked normal, but the other side had antlers growing from the frontal skull like a unicorn.

Seen that happen on occasion. Not sure what causes it, might be an injury or something like that to the pedicle.
that is different for sure.

I think it happens when they jump that fence and don't quite clear it sometimes it flipps them over on their head pretty hard. Ive seen a couple shot like that and when you skin out the head you can see where the whole skull plate was broken and healed back in a deformed kind of way making the antlers grow that way.
