What do you think. The one is from Febuary and the other is from last week.

It's a hard call. I'm not to sure. Without being able to zoom in and get a closer look it's hard to tell. But non the less either one will be a shooter. Good luck this season.

Scott.

Looks like a different deer, thee other doesn't look as wide, but it's hard to tell. There both awesome deer!

 

[RAZORBACK_GIRL]

The first pic looks like the spread is a bit bigger but it is hard to tell

 

[BowhunterNJ]

Need bigger pics to see any determining marks and tines...far too small to make a decision.

 

[swoosh]

It is hard to say, but I know for a fact I would fling an arrow at them!!

Nice pics

 

[JUMPMAN]

I britened up the second pic for ya...

 

[Whaack]

Similiar but not the same deer in my opinion. Maybe with better pics on the first deer we could tell better.

 

[Bobmuley]

I don't see anything in the two racks that suggests they're the same buck...

 

[MK M GOBL]

Where are you located?

If these deer where in my area, I would guess that one of them is a 2 1/2 and the other 4 1/2 (yes, I realize that isn't their exact ages at the time of the photo). For that reason, I would say they are different deer. That looks like too much improvement for 1 year, but pictures can be deceiving and some deer just grow faster than others.

 

[Stanley]

I would say no.

 

[old Graybeard]

No

 

[deerhunter17]

i don`t think they are

 

[BowhunterNJ]

Keep in mind these are different years (obviously).

The right G3 (main beam branching at the end) of last year's buck is short, but the left G3 is even shorter.

Now with the new buck, the right G3 has the same sprout feature, and is again longer than the left G3...but noticeable more tine length overall. Not far fetched to believe a deer can add that much length at that age class in one year.

I think there is a chance they may be the same buck, but it still requires better pictures. I can't say for certain, it is a definite NO they are not the same buck.

I am going to have to say no also. Like RBG said the buck in the first picture appears to have a wider rack w/a smaller body, while the other deer appears to have a larger body with a narrower rack.....just my opinion...both nice deer

 

[bucksdown4ever]

I was hoping that people said NO!!! Just gives me another shooter to look for this season!!! I have eleven pictures of the bigger buck so far this season and he is putting on mass and length pretty good! I have 5 different bucks that are going to be shooters but only this wide one on camera so far this year!!! The other 4 where late winter!! they will be back!!!

 

[HotShot88]

No. May be brothers, dont think they are the same deer.

 

[BowhunterNJ]

I am going to have to say no also. Like RBG said the buck in the first picture appears to have a wider rack w/a smaller body, while the other deer appears to have a larger body with a narrower rack.....just my opinion...both nice deer

Keep in mind...you are looking at a winter deer and a summer deer...very, very different both in coat and body fat. The winter deer will always look much bigger.

 

[NCAVI8TOR]

Those are different deer, IMHO.

 

[BowhunterNJ]

Guess there are no better, higher res pics to view? You have 11 shots of the new buck...and others of last years? Start posting em if you really want to know!
