Same buck?

[SteveNY]

Not sure if these two shots are the same buck.

 

Photos are about ~30 seconds apart. The area is a stream crossing, it would not make much sense for the same deer to be close to the camera facing it, then 30 seconds later be farther away and still facing it. Anything is possible though, I suppose.

 

The first bucks body looks bigger, and rack looks wider to me. Kind of hard to tell though because one perspective is closer than the other.

What do you guys think?

Maybe 2 bucks. 1 behind the other?

That's what I was thinking... And hoping, haha

I saw 2 bucks hanging out with each other a few days ago, so they are still grouped up it seems.

Hard to tell... Timing and placement if both deer I'd say it is 2 different bucks.

I've had a picture of a doe up close then back a few feet. If it's not 2 bucks, I think maybe the buck could have gotten spooked by the click of the camera and started to back out.....I'm leaning towards 2 bucks.

im kind of leaning to 2 dif bucks

 

one being, the first rack looks slightly wider and the body seems bigger... 

 

second being that time difference. i know the wildgames have about a minute refresh before being ready to take another pic?? im surpised to see it about 30 seconds later?, so having said that i think another buck worked in on that trail right after the first. they are a 30 seconds or so different. i mean the buck could have came back into view on a second go around but they both seem to be facing the same way as if working down a trail all in less then a minute.

This camera has a 30 second refresh.

I think its the same buck. If you look at the rear right leg you can see a piece of brown hair moving into the white around his joint. On both bucks. Idk, maybe they all have that.
