I'd say you can definitely rule out poaching. Those worthless critters will usually cut off the rack, even if it is damaged. Most likely a disease of some sort. If you really want to dig deep the AL dept on conservation ( http://www.outdooralabama.com/contact/might ) may be able to shed some light on possible diseases in your area. If you don't get any info there I have a wildlife biologist contact I can ask to look at the pics and see if he can shed any light on the situation. He is in Alabama and has done some whitetail research there. pm me if I can help.
