I saw a elk in Alberta that had HUGE pedicels to the point that they grew together, kinda like a cape buffalo's boss.
I've got a photo around here somewhere. The elk had eight or nine individual spikes coming out of one pedicel and at least six spikes coming out the other. The spikes were various lengths; the shortest being six-inches or so and others being up to three-feet.
It was a strange looking bugger.
Even funnier is the fact that my Albertan friend and I were hunting in a 5-point area. When he saw this bull with all kinds of spikes, he had a short conversation with himself as to it's legality.
Finally, he thought, "Sh1t, it's got way over five points on each side ... but it has no eyeguards, mainbeams or normal points ... but, it's gotta be legal."
When we got it home, we called the local Fish Cop. The Fish Cop's words were, "Holy Sh1t, I've never seen the like ... Yeah, it's legal."
Blessings,
