Impossible to say IMO with such typical characteristics, sure it is possible, but there is no way to tell. Differences in food sources etc can cause the same aged deer to look bigger one year from the next.

I'm not sure, but I would guess it would be a rare occurence for an antler to make it a whole year without some major rodent damage.

Hard to tell bud, but those aren't horns. Those r antlers. Horns don't fall off.

antlers can last a whole year without any damage, i found a perfect right side to a 5 1/2 year old buck nearly a year after getting pictures of him.

Yes, you can get DNA from antlers.

I wonder what a dna test would cost. I'm not sure, but I would
specualate that it would be very expensive.

I would agree with you. Appears that they are from the same buck one year apart.

I guess you guys are right, they are both very typical racks,but what got me was them being found in such a close proximity to each other.It wasn't even half a mile,probably not even a quarter mile.

Which still means that they could be from the same deer, but IMO they are most likely from different deer. I would be proud to have a set that matched so close which I am sure that you are too. Maybe you will get to see his antler next year while it is still attached.

Looks very similar, but you never know. My cousin and I have a matching set similar to yours. Mine was found in Middle TN one year while his was found in East TN the following year. He tried to get me to flip a coin to see who got to keep the matching set, but I would rather have one than none.  Exactly, I have sheds that would pass for mates all day long and they came from totally different areas! Looks can be deceiving!
And the fact both display such "classic" shape. Now if both had some unique distinguishing characteristic, that would be different.
