For All You Photo Experts!!.........HELP!

[squireboy]

Ok I hunted a particular area for years and have gotten some good pictures and taken a few good bucks from the area. While lookin back on my big buck count as far as pictures go I found one that no matter what I do I cant make out what kinda buck it is because of the lighting......... I figured some of you more photo- skilled guys might can help. Any help would be awesome.




Here is the buck some of my buddies think it might be.... This pic was taken in the same spot. Both were taken last July.





Samebuck or not?? Any guesses on age or size??

I played with a bit in PS this morning adjusting levels, color balance, curves, and green channel saturation, and got it to come out better, but still not enough to determine if he's the same buck in the picture below...I play some more to see if I can get it any better before I upload anything.

Surely someone can share some insight! I hunted the buck in the second picture ALL year and only saw him once during daylight hours. I hope he sticks around the same area next season!!!Timber is bein cutall around there, but the last I talked with them they arent cutting anything on the side of the mountain where these pics were taken.

id say its the same buck

I messed around with it a little on kodak. Seems no matter what I tried, it was still hard to tell! I don't have any of that fancy CSIediting equipment..

I wonder if that buck noticed that lion hiding by that tree[&:]

nice crutch. I had a picture like this where i couldnt tell the headgear on the buck and it drove me crazy so i stopped looking at it [:@]

Thanks crutch. I'm kinda leaning toward same deer. It just looks like you can see part of those long brow tines on his left beam.
