The Illinois shotgun deer season ends Sunday after a final three days. About 80 percent of the deer taken were bucks, with record harvests in Lee and Ogle counties. Billy Martin of Dixon tailors a remarkable buck with a deformed right antler and a missing right hoof, suggesting nutrient shifts during injury that shaped its odd rack.

Antler Growth and Breeding in Whitetail Deer Study
The Outdoorsman discusses how deer antlers respond to light cycles, noting that short fall days trigger breeding and antler shedding, while longer days halt pituitary activity. A University of British Columbia study found 12 hours light and 12 hours dark kept bucks from losing antlers, whereas continuous light caused multiple cycles of growth and shedding. The piece also covers atypical antler growth, aging inference limits, and records from Illinois hunters.
