Are These the Same Deer from Last Year?

Is this the same deer from last year? The camera is in the same place. The first two pics are from last year. The 2nd two pics are from this year.





If so, it is pretty interesting that his right antler went from a 5 to a 4 point.

And how about this one? Once again, camera is in the same place. Look closely at his brow tines and his left rack. I think he got injured on his left side since last year and that has affected his right antler. Got over 50 pics of this deer. Last year opening morning, he was passed on twice waiting for a better shot in the brush. Why not??? It was opening morning. Plenty of time for another opportunity. . . . . never saw him again, until now.

Last year's pics.





This year's pics.

Looks like it to me as well.

I'm comparing the brow tines as well.

the first 2 pics and 2nd 2 pics is a different deer. The big boy looks to be the same deer

Same deer in both. The fact he dropped the G-4 is irrelevant- main beams, fork g-2, junk around the bases, brow tines are all identical.

If these deer are in NE, you have something very special and don't tell a soul the area you hunt. 23 days and we can hit the woods, best of luck on those studs.

I disagree. If you look at both of his brow tines they look almost identical is the shape and placement on the main beam. Also, the left G2 is too similar to not think this is the same deer. Just my opinion. I do agree on the big boy.

The deer in your first post are the same. No doubt. The fork, and the brows make it obvious. I do believe the 2nd post deer is the same, I think there is just so much more progress on his rack that it is harder to tell. Note the friggin' bases on that 2nd deer. Unbelievable. Is that really a salt block or is that some sort of super-deer-antler-growing-hormone-block?

I would say they are the same deer from last year to this year but what does it matter they are both real trophies. I have noticed that when I get trends in horns in our area you will notice it in the brow tines. For a while we had a lot of forked brow tines and now about every third buck has brow tines that are bent backwards. Maybe just coincedence.

I would say they are the same deer for sure. It doesn't mean anything that he dropped that 4 on the right side. He did grow some length, kept the split g2 and got just a little older and harder to kill! ha ha. The second one is a little harder to tell, looks like he picked up at least 20 inches or more. But it does have the same frame with the main beams pointing up, just picked up some character points and is just a flat out monster! good luck hunting, hope you get em!

I'm positive that they are the same deer.

His bases are huge! And it is just a normal, old salt block. . . nothing special.

I would say more then likely they are the same deer as well.
