Telling age by branches is like a Urban Legend. I used to think that when I was a kid. Most of Yearling Bucks,will be a Forked Horn. They say a Spike Buck, has a bad gene pool, and should be weeded out. To tell the age of a Buck, or any animal at that, is through his teeth or jaw bone. When I shot my Moose, the Division of Wildlife wanted me to send in the lower jaw. It is pretty easy to guess the age of a buck 1 to 4 years, by the body. The older bucks, get a sway in the back and fill out in the brisket
