2,3, and 5 look the same as well as 6 and 7. But on the 4th one the g4 on the deers right side looks different than that on the 2nd 3rd and 4th as well as the brows being angled in a tad bit more?

Could be but I think having his head up just changes the angle on that g4.

The patterns on the face are the same.

I wouldn't bet my truck on it though.

3 deer total
I thought the brow tines were a little different in 4. I could be wrong though.

#5 has a sticker on his right G2 that is not visible in that photo. Looking for the sticker photograph. #1 is also in photograph #6, but the buck in the center did not show up in the other photographs. He is close to #7, but the mass is different. I have another buck that looks similar to #7 showing up on a camera a mile away on the same days with a high fence coyote operation between them. A lot of the bucks on my place are clearly from the same gene pool.

Yeah, come hunt a season in eastern NC, and then ask that question again. If I had a tag for all, I would take them all. Then again, I am about meat primarily, not the bone.

They would be the buck of a lifetime for 99.9% of the hunters out there. Most hunters will never see anything close to any of those bucks in their lifetimes. I can't imagine letting any of those bucks walk. Are they considered small for Iowa?

none of them are very old. There is only one with a little sag and a Roman nose.
