RE: Would you take this buck
They definitely look like two different bucks by the pics. Would need a better look to decide to ytake either.
Antlers aside the first pic looks more like a mature buck and the second looks like a youngster. Different view of dark pics can be decieving so I'd need a better look.
Whoops, just noticed the time interval between both pics. Assuming it IS the same buck, I'd let him grow. Those missing brow tines may besimply broken off
