Also,take a look at the throat patch.It is grey last year but white this year.
Regardless,nice deer.
I'm 99.9% sure this is the same buck. Look at pic 2 & 3, almost identical except for the kicker off the G2 switching sides. Along with age comes junk usually. That would explain the split brow. The mainframe of a very mature buck usually will not change from year to year. They might add on "extra" points, but when they hit 4 - 5-1/2 what you see going vertical won't change.
Thanks everyone for your replies. Here's a couple more pics
