    Title says it all, I know they're not that clear of pictures, but I was just curious if these are two decent bucks or the same one. What do you think?

    They appear to be different to me. Int the first picture, the palmation on the main beam right side around the G3 appears to be pretty promanent. In the second picture, it looks like the main beam is rounded around the G3 and his body appears to be bigger. Looks like you me youve got a couple good sized bucks roaming the woods. dont shoot your does till late in the season if you want to keep them around. just a tip. take it or leave it. good luck!

    I agree....to me the second picture buck appears to have a larger body, back end. His back appears flatter and the neck join to the shoulders appear broader. Could be the first pic is closer but I think deer two is bigger.

    I think the "palmation" you are seeing is actually the left beam doubled up right near the right beam giving the appearance of a prominent palmation in the perspective of the camera.

    Either way, the 2nd deer does appear a bit larger, although once again it could be the perspective of the camera, it looks like the 2nd deer may be spooked and was caught just as he was dropping down to dart off... I'd like to see a pic of him standing/walking as normal.

    They look different to me. If you're really lucky you'll get to witness those two banging heads.
