That buck on the far right in the second pic is odd. I have seen half rack bucks but that is usually around the rut when they have broken a side off. I have never seen a deer in the early season with half a rack, I wonder what his story is.

Great pics! Not really that odd to see animals do the ***** mount. Its a dominance thing, nothing about sex. I suppose bucks would be more likely to do that to assert dominance earlier in the year as the antelers in velvet are too suseptible to damage.
