Hunter in South Dakota Bags Rare Whitetail Buck with Moose-Like Antlers

Brent Wiesenburger, a hunter from South Dakota, recently tagged a whitetail buck with a rare antler growth pattern resembling a moose-like paddle. Wiesenburger had been tracking the deer throughout archery season but was unable to get a shot due to the dense cover of food plots. The cause of the abnormal antler growth remains unknown, although the buck had a visible tumor on its chest. During rifle season, Wiesenburger successfully took down the buck with a 100-yard shot. He described it as his true trophy, having never encountered anything like it before.
