Is This The Same Buck?

[SwampCat]

Last year - both antler tips bent down. I hunted him pretty hard last year up into mid winter

In the same area this year, I am getting pictures of this buck. If you cut those drop antler tips off from last year, I think he would be an exact match. Our deer tend to lose points as they pass five years old

same deer - or different?

 

[Howboutthemdawgs]

I say yes

 

[Mortenson]

Yes also. Too bad he shrunk.

 

[bwoods11]

Likely the same.

 

[Turkey Creek]

I agree, too bad he lost those cool beam tips.

Right side G2 rearward curve is a bit off this year. But that doesn’t mean anything I suppose. Either way that’s an old warrior and would be a trophy in my book.

Good luck catching him in the daytime. I’d say he’s old enough to wait for the ladies to find him.

I'd say not the same deer. Browtines are different, G2's don't curve the same, and G3's were considerably longer than G2's on the first buck but not on the second one. I see the similarities but would think maybe a brother or offspring to the original deer.

 

[goatman]

I'd agree. Not the same buck. Brows.

 

[Stubborn1VT]

Yes. Same big fork and same crab claw.

agreed, g2's and browtines are too different
