Same Big Buck?

[BK40]

Is this buck the same one 2 weeks ago,same spot.

Im thinking no 2 good ones using the same trail.

I would say, two different bucks. Nice! Good luck!

[ny hunter]

I think you have 2 nice deer there...

Looks like two different bucks. The tricky thing here is in the first pic, that bucks tips are bubbled up and ready to grow more. In the second pic, that buck is branching into an 8. So, it's a little touch and go, but I think 2 different bucks.

Two nice bucks, good luck with them!

Definitely 2 separate bucks. First one looks like he could possibly get to a 10 point.

Two different bucks

Either one would look great on your wall.

looks like two different 3.5 yr old bucks.  they seem like good ones to me too.  good luck if you're going to get after them.

Same 2 yo. Look at the coloration of the legs and throat patch. The nub G4 shows in 1,2,4 pics clearly.

Two different bucks. The spacing of the G2 & G3 tines on the right antler of the buck in the first set of pics is much closer together than on the buck in the second set.

[NeverSeenNorHeard]

2 for sure

[nyantler]

notice the tiny little sticker in front of the left g3 - If you look close it still shows up in the last picture... same buck.

 

But, the third pic is of a slightly longer tined buck... doesn't appear to be the same as the other three.

The white patch on the left side of the nose is also missing in the third pic... can't tell in pic 4 if it's present... third pic is definitely a different buck.

 The small point on the last buck is out at the tip of the beam...not close to the G3 = two different deer

Look in the red circle.

Those stickers between points in the growing stage tend to grow where they're at even throughout summer development once they become visable.

They don't "ride" up the beam as some are implying they do here.

This would be a really good post for FSW to chime in on when it comes to daily observations of antler development.

you could be right.. but it could also be from the additional growth of the beam... honestly, I couldn't say one way or the other for sure. It's just a pretty buck
