Just thought that the buck in the second photo is an old buck, he has very sloped coronets. He could have been your Allie. Old bucks can be very good at keeping out younger animals from areas. When you shoot one, the area that he is holding will be squabbled over and frayed by a number of younger pretenders, sometimes resulting in more, not less damage. By reducing pressure on the outside of his area by culling the yearlings then he will not need to mark his territory so much.
