Buck deer shows wounds from fighting

This is the first deer I have caught on camera this winter that has dropped its antlers and it appears to have other wounds to the head.
My guess is the wounds on the side of its head, lower than where the antlers were attached, came from the antlers of another buck. Perhaps it also lost its antlers in the fight.
Except for the goring to the head, the deer seemed otherwise unhurt.
