'Chandelier Deer': This Whitetail Deer Has Insane Antlers

We bet you’ve never seen a deer quite like this one named “Top Gun.” Top Gun is a whitetail deer with a very heavy set of antlers that, as TikTokers are quick to notice, resemble a crystal chandelier. (Does that make Top Gun a chandeldeer?)

The chandelier deer’s owner/caretaker runs the @wilson_whitetails TikTok account, and he doesn’t address why Top Gun’s antlers look the way they do. He does, however, share videos of the unique deer and his truly insane rack. The videos get millions of views, and TikTokers can’t figure out what to make of it.

Some commenters say it’s AI. Some lament how heavy these ornate antlers must be for the deer. But the most popular commenting thread is the one that jokes about how this deer’s antlers look like a crystal chandelier, and people really have fun with it.

Last month, @wilson_whitetails posted a video showing “the king” shedding the velvet on his antlers. That’ll lighten his load!

Watch it here:

Top Gun is shedding big time. The kings crown will be a lot lighter now. #deertiktok #farmlife #ranchlife #fyp #king #buck #whitetail #deer #outdoors #nature #shedding #deerfarm
