Would appreciate some expert opinion regarding the below pics.
First, on this side view of pic dated 01-16-06,
What age would you guess this buck to be?
And here is a close up of the rack on the 01-16-06 pic.
Then, here is a front view of either the same or a different buck, taken in the same general area on 01-15-06.
What age would you guess based on this pic?
And a close-up of the front view rack.
Based on these pics, I cannot say these are different bucks, but have reason to believe they may be (which I'll share after hearing some unbiased opinion based just on the pics).
So here's my question:
Can you see anything in these pics that would show these are two different bucks rather than two pics of the same buck?

I don't believe its the same one. May just be the camera angle but to me it doesn't look like the one on tops main beam curves in as much as the bottom one's.

Looks like the same deer, going by the headgear. Notice the curvature of the G3 on the left side. Both pics show a "scoop" shape. As for Age: 2.5. He doesn't have any belly and no neck. I would say 1.5 but I'll give him another year cause of the bad angle.

IMO, I believe they are different deer. There appears to be a weight difference. The first picture looks like a 3.5 year old to me. Second looks 2.5 or possibly 1.5. May be wrong, but thats what I take from those pictures.
