Buck nubs starting - left some cams out…

I see a lot of bucks in Iowa with abnormal sides. More than anywhere else I've ever hunted. What do you think causes so much of this? I think it might be fighting and a pedicle is damaged?
Fighting. When they shed - usually due to fighting & jarring it non-stop - a chunk of skull comes off with the shed. The following year that side is funky. Sometimes funky is from Injury but vast majority is shedding off a chunk of the skull. My wild guess is- half of em stay funky (sometimes get really cool & neat) - other half kinda return to normal.
 
I’m not sure you can draw up a better antler growth year. Minnesota has been so ideal, as we had the mildest winter ever . I’m stoked for prospects in both states !
 
this is a brand new farm! Acquired it in January, so have no idea what the history is like, but here are a couple I’m pretty excited about!!
