RE: Same deer?
Fran its kinda hard to tell with the rain/fog in the first picture.
Velvet can be deceiving, but it looks as if the deer in the top picture has a fair amount more mass on his right side (our left), than the deer in the bottom picture.
If you were to tell me it was the same deer, I don't think I'd argue with you though. They do look very similar, but that is kind of a text book, cookie cutter, run o the mill 2.5 year old.....there are a lot of em out there that look alike.
