    Ok, is this the same buck? (I know everyone is probably sick of these kinds of posts) I am going back and forth. The first one looks wider, and the brow tines look different, but I figured it was because of the position of his head. Then I noticed the throat patch is different too......

    Same. Look at the curvature at the tip if the left main beam as well as the right brow tine, identical

    I personally only see one picture where you can see the throat patch. I'd say same buck. The brow tines share the squiggly look and and the main beams have the same curves as well. I vote identical twins! :P

    Thats what I am saying, only see a white patch on one of them, which leads me to say different deer?

    That's not what I'm saying. The second picture the deer has a big neck and is looking up. First buck, small neck and looking down. Obviously from different times of the year (based on neck size, snow, and date on the picture... though I didn't need the date), I'd say his chin is hiding the white patch. I still vote same deer. Or like someone else said, the most identical looking two deer I've ever seen.

    Different, the top bucks beam swoop up on the tips, the bottom bucks do not.

    To me it looks like they both swoop upward. it's just a different angle

    They could be different bucks, the angles from the g1-g2 look different, and the left brow tines don't look too much alike, but I think a lot of that (if not all) is the angle. Let's hope that they're different!!!! That way you have two nice bucks in the same area.

    Different deer! Look at his right main beam with the up curl at the end. The other buck only comes straight around. Those are two different bucks!

    Different. Right side G3s did it for me. 1st is taller and the tip curls in, 2nd is shorter an slightly curls out.

    I vote same buck. Brow tines are identical and as Vendetta stated about his position of his head and the angle of the camera blocking his throat patch in the 2nd picture. Nice buck.
