As you all know this is my first year on this ranch. This buck came to the feeder for the first time. I seen the other eight pointer in another feeder about a quarter mile away. What do you guys think? He looks like 4.5 and don't know if that is and injury or his genetics. The eight pointer also looks 3.5/4.5 so he might get a pass this year.

Yeah, I would doubt that is genetics. More than likely an injury. Could be normal next year, but even if it is wonky again doesn't mean that it still wasn't injury.
We had a buck last year that the antler grew sidways out of the top of his head and his main beam went down and out. Like someone grabbed it and yanked it down on the side of his head. We got pictures of his early on this year and it was doing it again. He has a bump on the top of his head like where the base is under the skin is turned up on it's side. Haven't gotten pictures of him for a while, but they just started coming back to the feeders in the last week. Hopefully he will show back up. I would like to see how he turned out. He would easily make the 13" rule with the way the one antler turns way out.
On a south Tx ranch I would give them both a pass.
