I shot 2 bucks in Minn. that are almost exactly the same right down to the start of a fifth point on both right sides. These deer were shot about 4-5 miles apart. I wondered if they were poss. brothers.
I bow hunted a place in Wis. where the bucks had much longer then normal brow tines.
I firmly believe thatdifferent areas have different genetic traits.
Some of these could be due to the type of area they live in such as dense thick woods would suit bucks with narrow spreads and shorter tines.

The bucks around my area tend to be of modest spreads (my widest inside spread is 16 5/8) with beams that come around on the ends.
Also, the bucks tend to grow more than eight points by the age of 3 1/2 in most cases and many will grow kickers and stickers. I have actually never shot an 8 pointer on my parents farm but have passed on some that were 2 1/2 year olds.
Here are my top three bucks (10,12, and 11 point)
