I would say so - When you go from Skull mounts to live on the hoof or Wall mounts there is a big difference in size. But, I do think this was the same Deer - it still is hard to tell not seeing that other side.

I thought it looked like the same deer too because of the tall G 2's and not much else. I still wish I could shot this guy instead of him laying in a creek bottom and the cayotes eatin him.

I am going out on a limb, and say it may not be the same buck, but it is out of the same gene pool.
I base that on something I found this year out on the javelina hunts.
While I was conducting the Spring Turkey-Javelina combo hunts, the bucks began dropping their antlers, especially around the feeder pens.
In the vicinity of one feeder pen, I found two right antlers, about 75 yards or so apart. Each antler was basically a beam with one point, I will get pictures of these and post them.
The thing was, these were both from the same side of the rack, they were both this years sheds, they both had the same basic pattern, including the shape of the beam and the location of the point on the beam, yet one antler was twice or larger in mass than the other.
You can hold them side by side and visually see all the similarities in the two, yet one is almost or is half the size of the other.

You never know what could happen to an animal in two years. They look like the same gene pool, but it's impossible to determine if it's the same animal. Crazy things can happen to antlers during the course of two years.

it's hard to say but definetely the same genetics. i'm trying to find the picture's of this buck my buddy killed down in mexico about 10 years ago, it scored 170+, the buck of a lifetime you know. well the company i used to work for,fast forward 4 years, i was sitting their when the owner's uncle came in with a picture of the buck he just killed that weekend. i looked at it ,and told him that looked just like the buck my buddy had killed a few years back. well come to find out he was hunting the same ranch were my buddy shot his. there score's were of only by a couple of points or so. if i remember right there was one very destenctive part at the end of the right main beam were it went down at about a 45 deg. angle then cut sharp left and culed back up. it was crazy how identical they were,and then to find out he was hunting the same place.

Don't think so, curve looks slightly different and we ought to be able to see the seconday tines a littel better in the phot- don't you think? Plus look at the tips very closely. Course - I could be wrong.

will say that it sucks finding it. Would have been so much nicer if it was just the dropped tines instead.

Had a TPWD Biologist tell us shoot all the slick 6's, its a dominant trait, will not have brow tines.
