Same Buck?
« on: October 22, 2016, 12:19:08 PM »
Here's some trail camera pictures of a buck I call Trashman, The first photo is of him in 2015 and the second just a few days ago. Does anyone agree with me and think it's the same buck? I'm kinda wishing I hadn't shot the doe this year... but one of my older brothers is hunting for him.

Looks similar, could that tuft of dark hair on his inner back leg be a good indicator? Any more pics?

Definitely a different buck.  Notice how in the first picture the ears are back and in the second they are forward.   8)  :chuckle:

I would guess that they're not the same. I think the buck from 2015 would be bigger a year later. But they do look very similar.

Same guy.  Notice the markings on the lower mandible, and the throat patch.  Clearly the same buck, in my opinion.

Let your brother take, and remind him forever that "that was my buck."   :tup:

I thought the throat patch looked like a perfect match.

I have never followed a single deer from year to year other than a few does that come to a friends house to eat.   The color of their hair for sure and the patches around their eyes seems to be a give away.  The buck sure seems like the same one.

I think the 2015 pic is an older buck;  his head looks a little more blocked and mature.
