Genetics or weird coincidence

darn it try again same deer I think I've been watching this small spike or 1x2 the last couple of years so same I think.
Or lack of nutrients.

I think those first 2 pics are the same buck, are they not?

More likely Father/Son   

Thought it was weird they were literally standing within feet if not inches of the same spot, the same day, three years later.

I'm betting on two different deer.  The first has eye guards and seems to fit the provided description of an acorn buck - completely new to me.   The second buck , a year later, does not have eye guards but really cool inward hooking points. 

Great pictures, whatever the case.  The fact that they were in the same spot on two different years leaves me with but one question - what are the coordinates of that spot??

I'm a whitetail guy. But the migration /travel routes these mulies do every year has me wishing I'd spend more time chasing them! Thanks for that bone! It's pretty sweet to return to a exact spot a year or two later and have the same  or similar encounters.

I've taken a buck with a simular tip here in Eastern WA.

The buck in my profile pic had 5 out of 8 Pts acorn tipped
