Looks fine to me as well. Just a younger buck. A lot of bucks won't have exact matching antlers the first year. Give them a few years and then you'll be able to see if they have any problems with them but look like normal young bucks to me.

I would watch them this up-coming year and see how they progress,like Bigbulls mentioned the Bucks are still young and may turn out to be some really nice Monsters in the years to come?I have a video of a young buck walking up to a Doe and she kicked him right in the head with her hoofs,had a picture later on with one side of his spike busted off so its possible that the first Buck You have pictured could have a similar injury or experience interacting with other Does or sparing with another Buck!

in my experiences with young bucks and their potiental first racks is they are still kinda clumsy and its very common at least in my area that young bucks will bump their antlers while in velvet which cases deformaties<----is that a word?
