I say two different bucks! I dont think you would be able to tell much of a difference if they come in around you though?
Pretty similar but i vote different deer. If you look at the ears in relation to the rack the first bucks antlers come off more horizontal and the seconds bucks antlers come off at close to 45 degrees.
i dont think its the same buck. if you look at the right brow tine of the first one and then the right brow tine of the second one there is a big difference. the first one is hooked the second one is stright. similiar deer but not the same
Two deer from the same gene pool. Look at the main beam and width of the rack. The main beams sit lower on the first buck and one side sits higher at the tip compared to the second buck. The ears are straight out on the first and in line with the main beams, the second has ears more up and are inline with the main beams. The throat patch is also missing on the first deer, even at the angle of the picture there should be visible white hair from the throat patch.
