    Wouldn't you know it, but since i have been doing alot of filming this summer, i have encountered two bucks that are nearly identical. Both look to be at least 3.5 if not older, with some ridiculous brow tines and awesome mass. They live about 5 miles part and i have seen them both in the same night.

    Heres the first one, buck A, also known has "Holy Browtines Batman!" (thanks ben :d )

    And here is the 2nd buck, simply known as buck B for now:

    The 2nd one is the buck that i am most interested in. He lives in a chunk of land that i have access too, and hunted a number of times last year. he's going to be #3 on my hit list without a doubt.

    Either way, both are great deer. Pretty interesting how similar qualities they have. Very cool.

    Very cool!

    I have had some similar experiences shed hunting up here. I've found sheds from different bucks that have many of the same characteristcs many miles apart. Crazy what you find when they disperse.

    Buck #2 has a good sized body and looks like he will have a tall even 8 point rack with a 16-17 inch spread. He's a mature shooter for sure, both are obviously but like you I'd want a crack at buck #2 more.

    I would gladly help with the buck you don't want...:deer:
    Ohio is only a little 12-13 hour drive, call if you need help, I have a ninja approach to hunting that may be of help!!!

    AL, we're talking deer here.:busted:

    They look identical, will be nice to see how they fill out in the next two months and how similar the end result is.
