This buck didn't change that much in a year, maybe got a little bigger? We call him "Forks" or the "Mule Deer Buck"

2008 Out of velvet

2009 in velvet

 

[njgunner]

nice buck I agree not much change...might have to take him out of the gene pool

His g2's look bigger last year. Take him out of the heard. Nice buck but bad genes. Is that Mendham. I hav'nt seen much up where I am yet.

 

[BowhunterNJ]

Different deer, same genetics IMO.
Ear lengths look different
White around front of nose looks different
Probably 1st one's offspring.
Top buck appears older characteristic/face wise.

Deffinetly a different buck. Look at the white patch on his neck and the white on the legs. These things dont change from one year to the next, different buck.

Agree with bowhunternj,brow tine goes different direction. Antlers have memory unless injured,good luck with him...[up]

 

[jdm130]

I agree too, same genetics different buck. Either way, great buck/s [up]

 

[BOW ONLY]

different buck... gl with him

 

[MTH]

agree too, same genetics different buck

Same here. Not only that, but the 2009 buck looks younger, and looks like he's developing a new browtine-making him a likely 9 pointer next year-maybe a 10

[hunterpanz1100]

[JerseyJay]

[buckhunter]

I agree with bowhunter nj, not the same buck, one of his kids,

 

[UltraMag77]

Chris I agree with you I think it could be the same deer. If it's not he's from the same gene line and most likely you would have gotten pics of both him and a larger version if that was the case. Some guys are saying get him out of the herd but I dont see anything necessarily bad genetic wise about this deer and he is still quite young. I'd give him some time Chris. You know your deer and let the cameras do the work. If that's not the same buck then it's a twin which I have seen before. In hopewell I was watching twin ten points one season. Their racks were so identical you couldn't tell them apart or know it was a different deer unless both were standing next to each other proving it was two different deer.
