RE: Growth of a buck (pics)
I'm pretty sure he's the same deer. The left brow tine is higher than the other. He is forking off his left beam to make him a 9 point. I have another buck on film with a taller right brow tine. They started out the same size and visited the area together but the other buck hasn't come around in a while and the last I saw of him he wasn't even close to this one.
