AH legend
It is roe buck I believe.
The antlers continue to grow, as the growth hormone doesnt stop production.
Explanation is, the animal injures his reproductive organs (balls), which triggers another set of hormones for rut period, growth hormone doesnt stop the growth of horns.
In normal conditions when the mating starts the antlers stop to grow, and buck starts chasing does. But if the balls are injured, this hormonal change does not happen, and result is this.
