Same Deer as last year?

last year.....



this year (The date and time on the photo is NOT correct....it was early Nov of this year ...I've fixed the time/day stamp now)



I'm thinking yes......so far he's the biggest deer I've caught on camera this season on my small property

haven't had a chance to go out this year.....and my camera really hasn't show any day time movement by my stand...so I'm not missing much apparently

 

It sure looks like the same deer to me.

 

Could be !

This is just a testament to how passing a moderately racked younger buck can be returned with a much more substantial harvest(rack wise), the following season.

can you move closer to where you believe this buck to be coming from ?

 

sadly no....I have permission to retrieve on adjacent property but not to hunt.

I'd probably take him this year if i saw him....but i would Looooveee to see what an other 1 or 2 ...or even 3 years would do to him!

 

Oh he would be an absolute beauty in another year or two !!!

He's a great buck now..I always say, if a buck gets your blood pumpin', return the favor !!

How old do you believe him to be, this year ?

 

The marking in his left ear are almost identical. I would guess hes about 3 .

 

yea my guess was 3.5 as well.....

I'm just impressed with all the added width he got in just one year, it went from narrower than his ears to almost 2x as wide on each side

 

I would say its the same deer.

 

thats a nice buck

 

id wait next year and see if you can get him to be bigger
