It can be many reasons, injury, genetics, etc.A lot of Bucks tend to add more non typical points with age also.

There's your answer... Also, if a buck gets injured on one side of his body, he'll likely grow a weird antler on the opposite side. I watched a qdma show recently where they talked about this phenomenon. My guess is it usually comes down to genetics and age though
