Is this the same deer?

[lovemylegacy]

Just for the record, I think it is

[toledo]

I vote no. Horns are different and bottom deer looks to be at least a year older/bigger in the body.

Hard to say for sure but it’s very possible it’s the save buck.

I can see the same white spot on his left ear in both pics/years.

[Bone Thug]

Unless that’s common for your area!!??

If your dates are correct then its definately not same deer... 2014 buck is older/bigger than 2017 pics.
And if dates are wrong the black and white photos are of an older buck.

[Big pig]

Nope.

[lovemylegacy]

Dates are correct. I think its the same deer. In 2014 I figure he is 4+ years old, thus the reason for the thinner older body now. No distinguishing marks other than the white spot on his ear.

Makes for an interesting discussion anyway.

No. New pic buck is 2.5 max. Old pic buck is 5.5+. Similar genetics, maybe, but that's all.

[lovemylegacy]

Yeah probably so. I just figured he might have lost weight due to age. I would probably pass on the big 8 I got pics of to take that spike....just to get him out of the herd and to look at his jaw.

With dates being correct I would say no way. There's not 3 yrs. body difference between the '14 pics and the '17 pics.

[Antlers86]

Definitely not the same

[ShawnEO]

Personally, I doubt it. I think the deer in the top 2 pics is not old enough to be the deer in the bottom 2 pics 3 years later. They are both young deer. I would take out the top deer, though. JMO

IMO, different deer. The brow tines are longer on the 2nd deer.

Different deer that buck is to young to be the deer in 2014
