Hunt expectations, how many animals?

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.

A perruque. They usually die from it and the antlers are prone to getting infected due to the excessive amount of velvet. For some, it’s highly prized. Very uncommon though.
 
Perückenbock / Perruque buck / Brocard à perruque due to a lack of testosterone release so that the antlers are not shed and the bast or the horn continues to grow. The etiology is a disease or injury of the testicles.
 
This can happen in many species of deers, but is seen above all by roe deer buck's.
