    In the photo his body looks a little emaciated, maybe poor nutrition and too much screen time.

    You may want to have it checked out, although, I assume it's all been cut and wrapped by now

    Possibly held his velvet quite a bit longer? Looks tasty

    Rubbery and flacid? You sure you were grabbing his antlers? In all seriousness, it's probably a genetic mutation or seriously deficient in some nutrient.

    From this angle and this picture he looks very small, agree with Carnivore. Antlers are bone so shouldn't be rubbery at all.
