[QUOTE="AllOut, post: 2271959, member: 12099"] You can't really tell the health of a buck by his horns, to many variables. Velvet damage cause deformations of a perfectly fine buck. Hell if the buck hurts his leg a little during antler growth it can cause irregularities in his antlers. Funny part about that, an injury to the right side of his body will cause a left side irregularity and visa versa. So no, your not really doing any good buy killing a young buck with a messed up rack. Like a lot of us have said, there is ONLY ONE WAY to tell what a bucks potential will be. Let him mature! But if your hunting for meat then it really doesn't matter does it. Except a mature deer is typically bigger and has more meat. [/QUOTE]
