Default RE: antler growth

Could have been a different buck maybe? Last Sunday night I was in my stand and a 125 inch 3.5 year oldeight point came outaround 3 p.m.he had super long tines,13" g-2's, 11" g3's and only a 14" spread. I let him go and an hour later, an almostidentical buck came out but it was a 2.5year old, same exact spread, same shape,less mass, with 10" g-2's and 9" g-3's. If I got these bucks on trail cams in different years, I'm sure I'd think they were the same one.Genetics and rack style can becommoncharacterisics to an area, especially for racks like basic youngbucks that don't have a ton of character yet. I didn't get a picture of the 3.5 year old as he appeared out of nowhere andit was so early, I hadn't pulled my camera out yetbut the 2.5 year old I did as he was feeding in the beans adjacent to my stand. (It's not a great pic as it was getting dark.)
