This is what I was thinking.What makes you think it is the same deer? Definately from the same gene pool but not sure if it is the same deer.

Also,take a look at the throat patch.It is grey last year but white this year.

Regardless,nice deer.

At work LOL... I never hunted that stand last year. My father-in-law wanted to shoot a couple does for the frezzer and I said he could hang a stand there. I tagged out on a 148" 10pt 250yds away from this camera two days later.

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

He LOST a kicker on 1 side but gained it on the other.That is what I am seeing.Deer don't normally do that,do they? They will gain junk but not lose it will they?

I have seen 2 deer running together with identical 120"-130" racks.If these deer were seen separately,by the same person at 2 different times,they would be convinced they were seeing the same deer.

I just don't see enough evidence to say for sure this is the same deer.Yes,these pics are very similar and the main frame definately looks to be the same deer but I see where it could be a different deer as well.You have seen more pics of it/them.There may be other features but I can't find them.I will defur to your experience with him.

Either way, you are definately on some great deer.

Good luck with him/it.
