Was on his tracks... but

[BuckTracker]

Hey Ya-

I got two photos of this Onondaga Co. State land buck two years ago meow.. Hunted like hell for him and as the story goes-never every saw him.

Anyways I heard from a fellow hunter that a big one was shot out of that area with a bow that scored in the 145s or so. Couple weeks later I come across a photo at the local Gander that very much so resembles MY BUCK.

What's everyone think and can anyone provide me with some closure.. ie a name or number of the guy that lucked out

[BuckTracker]

Sorry bout that last crooked picture!!

I vote not the same deer. Similar. I could be wrong. That buck in 09 was plenty mature too. His left antler that year had a bit of character to it with the long G2, funny g4, and main beam tip that curves up sharply. The dead buck has none of that and is very symetrical.

doesnt look like the same deer in the last picture the first ones do but the last one looks like a dirrerent deer

[pistolp71]

Not the same deer.

[rong]

[WNYBuckHunter]

Not the same deer IMO.

[erussell]

relatives but not the same deer.

[the blur]

Even if it is, why would you call him? or even attempt to located the hunter ???

[landtracdeerhunter]

Stay on his tracks

[MuzzyLoader]

YOUR BUCK (I love this phrase... NOBODY 'owns' a deer on the hoof - unless it is in a private pen or was purchased) is still walkin' by the looks of things.

Those are two different deer.

+1 That's just the way it goes many times. Deer will get shot by someone else and not us. We don't own the deer, nor can we tell them where they should or shouldn't go.

[SteveNY]

nor can we tell them where they should or shouldn't go.

Well we CAN...

I just don't think they will listen.

They do listen, but I think they "no habla Ingles"! LOL

I do not think it is the same deer. But I know the guy so if you tell me what public spot I can confirm or deny.

It is definitely NOT the same deer. Just like Sampotter had said the G2 is alot longer then any of the other atnlers it stands out!

The buck that you have on your cam is still waiting for you, now go out and get him soon before the season is over.

Good Luck!!

Agreed.

I say not the same deer

[BuckTracker]

I appreciate the responses.. I guess 20:1 wins, and the more and more I look at the subtle details I have to agree also.

If the third picture is not the same gonna have to leave the location as a mystery for now..

Thanks, Buck Tracker
