Those are two different deer the first deer is old probably 4-5 years old wont ever amount to much more than what he's got right now the second deer is young 3 and he's got some potential way to much growth differance to be the same deer

i'm 98% sure its the same deer. i'm in a very small piece of woods in a the middle of a town with very little woods. not many deer around just a few. plus hes running with the same 2 bucks from last year. plus guys on here only estimated him at 2 last year so that would put him at 3 this year.

They appear to be differnt deer, but it defenitely could be the same.

In all my years hunting iv'e never seen a buck loose inches first pic the buck has 4-5" brows second pic that buck only has 2 1/2-3" brow tines.

Not the same buck and agree with the above. 1st buck is not a 2.5 year old. Lookat the mass from the first buck. He has a lot more mass at the base of the main beam then the 2ndbuck evenin velvet. While they cangain or lose points, tine length and gainmore mass from one year to the next... they usually don't lose mass at the base of the beam where you would notice it by looking. Different buckand a nice one to boot.

Best of luck with him this fall.

Yeah and condoms are 99% effective, tell that to the guy that just had a baby. I don't think they are the same deer but I don't consider myself Dr. James Kroll either.
