yea that might be his antler...same thing with the g2 and g3 V. But you can never tell cause i have a collection of antlers at home that are from all different years that are identical but not the same deer. They were all found or killed on this one property this is off limits to hunting. The genetics are really good and year after year, you will see bucks that look the same but aren't the same deer from the year before. Good luck with him!
