Is this the same deer?

Dates are correct on pictures.

I vote yes but would prefer a couple more angles to get a better look at the left side.

Hey cutman. I only got one more picture. See below:

I'm going yes. The rack has too many of the same characteristics. Throw in the ear split, I'm sold!

Sure looks like him.

The ear is the dead giveaway

Same buck

100%. Is he going to make the target buck list this year?

I have one other deer that I like better than him, but it would be hard to pass him. If we get lucky, maybe my son and I can each get one.

It probably is the same deer, but the pictures in velvet make him look pretty old. The hard horn picture looks young

Keep in mind that the hard horned pics are after a long hard winter and recouping from the breeding season. The latest pics are during the summer with abundant soybeans all around. I think when the velvet sheds this year and he gets his fall body, he will resemble a Sherman Tank. My guess is that the deer is 4.5 this year. Our deer can peak or be close to peak at that age in terms of antler size.

Same deer for sure. Split right ear confirms it for me, not to mention that rack is pretty unique.

Dandy!

Same deer. 4 yr old?

Four is my guess Rusty. I’m almost certain 4 or 5. You are a good judge of bucks - do you think he still has any growth this year from that last picture? I’m thinking he could still gain a few inches.

Assuming your deer shed out late August /early Sept. And assuming the date is right on that pic at 8/1, then yes good chance he will add a bit more tine length and possibly mb. This buck doesn't look like he will do it but not uncommon for bucks to add a little nt trash at the very end also. Very nice deer.

The ear and the right G2 I would say same deer

 

[Drycreek]

I’m with the crowd, same buck.

 

[Native Hunter]

Good that we all agree. I did get some more pics at another cam I didn't check the last time. This deer isn't really extra wide, but his beams are really long looking.

 

[Drycreek]

Gonna be another magazine cover there !

 

[T-Max]

Probably only 2-1/2 also. Native starts em young!
