Whitetail Buck With One Antler

I spotted this Whitetail Buck with one antler at the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge in Oklahoma back in March 2016. I believe the other side was shed. The Bucks start shedding antlers this time of year.

I watched this Buck to see if it would shed the other antler but it never did.
