Title: Opinions...Are these the same bucks?
Post by: Guru on October 20, 2011, 09:01:00 PM
I'm familiar with this buck, I call him "Short ones" because of his short brows. Saw him just starting to develope while turkey hunting this past May, Then a trail cam pix in velvet that I mistakenly deleted    :knothead:

Over the last month, I've gotten on trail cam video, and a pix a few times(always at night)...

Now... the second I saw this pic when I slipped the SD card into my computer I thought WOW! Who is this!!

To me the second group of pix is a different buck with a bigger body, and more bone...longer tines, better mass, and almost looks to have some junk.

But I'll admit the pix aren't great....so it's hard to tell...

What do you guys think??

Shoot them both and find out.  They look the same to me, but its really hard to tell.  If I had to guess I would say yes.

Tough call, but I agree with you. The second one looks like he might be a 10 point and maybe a bit wider rack than the first. Kind of hard to tell on body size since the angles are so different. I think either one looks good to me. Good luck!

Tough call bud, Shoot the one that gives you the chance and leave the camera out.

I can't tell if there is a difference, but sure wish I had the problem you got there. Good Luck!!

Looks to be the same deer to me.  Neither deer appears to be out past the ears so if they are two different deer, they have pretty similar headgear.

They look pretty similar Curt, I like Big Eds idea, shoot one and see if you still have one.

I know you can get one of em Bro!  :thumbsup:

The shadowing on the second set of pics might be what makes the body look larger. I would say same buck.

I think they are two different deer, the second one has long brow tines and it is just a bigger deer all the way around.
