    I've had these sheds in my office since early spring and just happened to notice they had some of the same similarities but they also have some differences so I thought I would check with you pros and see what your thoughts were. I found them the same day about 50 yards apart and one is obviously old although I can't tell how many years it was out there as it was under a pine and pretty well protected by pine needles. My thoughts are that they are different deer but the closeness of the g3 on each as well as the curve of the main beam has me second guessing. They both also have a little sticker near the base.

    I would say probably different deer because of the main beam curve near the brow tine. I wouldn't be surprised if it was from the same deer though, it's hard to say.

    I gotcha, the other reason I thought different was the direction that each tine curves on each antler but I wasn't sure if that was something that could change with age or not.
