Default Matched Sheds?

Found these a couple of weeks ago about 10yds apart. I didn't think they were from the same buck, but Dukemichaels thinks they might be cuz the mass at the bases is similar. What do you think?



Actually the brow tine is hard to see on the one on the right and the G4 is longer than it looks. The one on the right is a typical 5-point

id say considering how close you found em, the similarities in the color, size, and wierd shape, that they are most likely from the same buck. he's defenitely an oddball too. great find!

It's hard to tell. I would say yes just because of the bases and the fact that both antlers seem to have unique characteristics. Im not an antler expert though.

This is a little six point I shot a couple years ago. If he had made it through deer season and I found his sheds, I would seriously be doubting that they came from the same deer, just because theright antler is much higher and has a brow tine, while the left antler is shorter and much longer with no brow tine, but a small kicker on the base.

I can see some similarities, being you found them that close together I would say they are from the same buck.

Same buck - definitely - tha coloring is the key once its known how close together they were found.

Yes ,it look's like it could be a matching pair ,but he look's like he may have been a little bit of an odd pair.
