It could definitely be a different deer. But i know the other buck survived last year ans had the same burr on the left side and the same scruffy coat. And those pics are taken in the same food plotDon't think they are the same deer. Looking at the hams, chest, and overall body of the first deer, I would put him at 3.5. Second deer you posted a pic of is 5.5+.
I agree but I'm saying first one maybe 2.5. Could be a run down 3.5.Don't think they are the same deer. Looking at the hams, chest, and overall body of the first deer, I would put him at 3.5. Second deer you posted a pic of is 5.5+.
