The abnormality on the right side is almost definitely an injury to the antler. It appears as though it is to the antler itself and not the pedicel, so should the deer make it through this year, it will most likely grow back normal next year. It's pretty awesome how it is though. I think I'd rather have it messed up. Also, if you're in Georgia, that deer should still have a substantial amount of growing left to do. I'm in Alabama and the deer here rarely ever shed their velvet before the third week of September. Antler growth is triggered by the extended length of daylight in the summer time and tommorrow is the longest day of the year. Those antlers should be growing really fast right now.

I have noticed as well the difference in last year and this years bucks way ahead of schedule. here in Tn I have seen 8 bucks on our land all 6 and 8 point salready and anywhere from 6 to 14 inch times.... I have never seen them com out so early , not that big anyway.
