Twin buck question

[Woodjr55]

If you have twin bucks will they have the same racks. I ask because I have two deer that are both same size and same racks a fork on one and spike in the other side the only difference is which side has the the fork

Very interesting! I'm thinking they won't be identical but I'm interested in hearing what others think

I have seen posted pictures here where bucks are compared by racks as brothers. So why wouldn't twins have same racks

I'll post a picture later

Paula...Most deer are fraternal twins rather than identical twins...

As in humans, fraternal twins may not look anything like each other, and often are of different gender, as they are the result of two separate eggs fertilized at the same time.

Identical twins are the result of a single egg splitting into two embryos and are always the same gender and usually look very much alike.

They will both share the same gene as mom so I would think at 2 years old plus they would have similar antlers if both stay healthy.  As separate embryos I would think they could have different racks to a degree.

They say a percentage of doe that have twin bucks are sired by different fathers.  That could also have a factor in the genes and rack configuration.
