Same Deer ????????
Is this the same deer? Only with more pts, bigger, older and not much wiser. If it is the same deer, redemtion is mine to enjoy.
I shot the 2013 8pt from the same setup, same distance, and was unable to find the deer. Not a pass thru shot, but found lots of blood that eventually disappeared. I searched for weeks, even with a tracking dog and never found the 8pt deer. I was extremely disappointed with myself for not finding this particular deer. I truly believed I made a fatal shot on this deer.
I shot and harvested the 2014 10pt, on the opening day of the VA archery season. Once again not a pass thru, but did find the deer within 50 yards of my setup. After reviewing the pics, I see some similarities. What do you think? Are these the same deer????????

Few years back I shot a buck during fire arms season. As I was field dressing it I felt some thing in the ribs that shouldn't have been there. After a more careful dressing I found a broad head stuck in the ribs and a tiny bit of arrow. it had already started to grow tissue around it.
Yup they sure like a lot alike and if isn't the same they had the same daddy.

Here are a couple more pics. I did shoot the 2013 8 pt on his right side. The picture facing side of this 2014 10pt. Quartering away shot right behind the shoulder aiming thru to the opposite side shoulder.
Thanks to all of you for your honest opinions. I feel relieved that I did not fataly wound and unable to retreive the 2013 8pt.
