A friend sent me a pic of his Euro mount highlighting it's canine teeth. The deer was shot in northern Wisconsin.

My wife's first buck had one. First I've ever seen until now

That's pretty neat. I guess they're similar to elk ivories.

I've got one from PA like that, with just one "fang". I'll see if I can find a pic
Oh, and believe it or not, deer bite. Fairly hard.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

I've seen 2 in my life. One brought in by a customer and shot a doe with one once.
IIRC thats a recessive gene from many centuries ago.
Muntjac? still carry them.

I too have seen one whitetail deer like that. Here is what REAL deer incisors look like though: It is a Chinese water deer Hydropotes inermis -- and I have to admit using their skulls to baffle my students in a university-level anatomy course. John

Yup all the deer we've killed in Deep South Texas still have the tiny canines. Pretty cool throwback to those thrilling days of the Pleistocene.
