Teen Hunter Bags Rare 'Cactus Buck' With Velvet Antlers – See The Photos!
The term "cactus buck" might seem strange to many, but it refers to a male deer that has soft velvet antlers all year long.
According to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, this peculiar condition is often the result of testicular trauma, undescended testicles, or a disease that affects the blood flow to them.
In the case of Major Edmonds' deer, he noticed that the deer's testicles were significantly smaller than normal, possibly even completely absent. "At the time I killed it, we didn't even know what to look for," Major admitted. "Maybe he only had one, or maybe they just never dropped at all."
