Same Buck?
« on: January 16, 2016, 07:46:25 PM »
Found these two sheds within about 150 yards of one another. The older one was found in August and the newer one was found late December. Asked a few of my friends what they thought and we believe they are the same buck but I thought I'd share and get your opinion. Thanks for your input.

I'm guessing the bottom of the older one is chewed a bit? If not pedicle shape would go a long way toward giving a reliable indication of the same buck. But without that, I would say its very possible. Looks like a couple year spread between the 2.

Definitely a few years between the two. I found the bleached out one in the timber and the newer one right in the grass exposed to the sun. I believe I saw the same buck in velvet in the area when I found the older one. It will be interested to see if I can find a possible third year shed.

Gotta be the same. Keep up the hard work. There's probably bigger ones in their.

Those antlers are dead
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
