you can't tell the the age of a buck by the number of branches on his horns..... i have found yearling wt's that have shed spikes(not yet a yr old). i have found lil 4 pt's that have 1 1/2" bases, and i have found a spike antler with 6" base's(not a 1 1/2yr old i assure you) oh yeh you might say this guy is an idiot... he's calling them horns... well go out shed hunting and after 30 or 40 hrs in the woods with no luck you too might start to think they didn't shed their antlers this yr.lol.
just have to figure out where the bucks are hanging out in january to march depending on where you live. just lke hunting it takes a long time to get good at it and luck is a wecome companion on the long march for horns. beds,feeding areas travel and migration routes are good places to start. throughout the yr they have but a few nessesities-food,sleep,water. find these spots by glassing and keeping an eye on them around the time they should be dropping. when you start seeing bucks with one or no horns it's time, but a good set of bino's can help pick out the bucks from the doe's once they've dropped.
as the snow melts more and more horns will be reveilled.
just keep at it.
