It may have been because wound healed well ahead of their antler growing season.
Agreed, more often than not a deer is going to have one side messed up after a non fatal hit. I shot a very nice 10 point two years ago. Searched for two days and never found him. I was crushed until the next year he showed up on camera. A beautiful 5 point on one side and a tall odd shaped 4 point on the other.
Its not out of the question but I think once he has his winter coat you'll know a lot easier. With them shedding summer coats right now its tough to tell.
