    Another post on here was perfect timing with what I found on my camera card yesterday. "KJ or Kid Jr." showed up almost a year to the date of when I started getting pics of the 9 pt ("Kid") I shot last year. This new buck is hanging with Kid's old buddy (Play) and looks identical to Kid minus the split brow tine. I think he has to be a brother or son of Kid. The second part to this post is Play (they were inseparable last year so I called them Kid and Play) who grew a crab claw on his right side. I'd like some input on both of the ages. I know KJ is young, just wondering how young and is Play at least 3.5?

    I couldn't manage the attachments in order so I will apologize in advance- I will dictate them in order.

    1st pic is KJ (just a cool picture)
    2nd pic is trail cam of Kid before I shot him
    3rd pic is second trail cam pic of Kid
    4, 5 and 6 are KJ first night he showed up
    7th pic is KJ and Play bonding already
    8th pic is Play last year
    9th and 10th are Play from this year with and w/out velvet

    Sorry for the confusion, I'm not creative with naming them, but any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks. That's what I was thinking. Do you think KJ is a brother or son of Kid? His times aren't as long but he's already almost as wide and as I mentioned identical minus the split brow.

    doubt son but could share same genetics. Really tough to say because anything is possible.
