I have this guys on camera from last years hunting season!



I think he is pretty young but need your thoughts! Pictures 2 and 3 are of him this year! Haven't seen him all year on any cams until now! I'm guessing 3 1/2 to 4 1/2!!





What do you guys think?? 95% sure it's the same buck!

Could be, but if so he may have went down hill some, as I think the bottom buck is likely 4.5 even though these aren't great pics to judge from.

There is no way to tell for sure if it is the same deer due to the angles, but they look similar. The bottom pic looks like a run down 4.5 yo to me.

When you guys say run down, what do you mean? How does a deer look run down? Looks fat and healthy to me but I don't have a clue really!!

In my opinion, something is wrong with that buck from 2014. He looks sick or injured, although any number of things could be producing that "look."

Looks sickly for sure.. I'd say he's at least 3.5 though.
