The whitetail I killed had antler color and surface features different from any I had taken on this property in past years. In fact, they were different than any I had ever seen killed in all my years of hunting Sancudo Ranch. It was a very worthy rack considering the deer was very old; I estimated 8½ to 10½ years old from aging his teeth. His body and likely antlers were going down. As I write this article I will offer my opinion of why the surface of my deer’s antlers were “ugly compared to the norm” and why I decided to make them look natural again.
