Title: Same buck?
Post by: youngbull on December 30, 2018, 05:26:35 PM: Found these 1\4 mile from each other 10 months apart. Is this the same buck?

Post by: youngbull on December 31, 2018, 10:54:45 AM: After looking closer i agree
Its a different but possibly
I thought it was a match from my earlier find
Either way its a win.

Post by: blackveltbowhunter on December 31, 2018, 11:11:07 AM: There's no way they are a match. They are both right sides. But they COULD be from the same buck in different years. It depends on where they were found for color etc, I have found several confirmed year or 2 old BT sheds that were in great shape protected from the sun in deep ferns with good drainage. And depending on the bucks age the difference in bases would make sense. These have enough variation I n the tines it's difficult to say for sure. If it we're me I would compare the pedicles, if off the same deer they will be very, very similar in shape and probably size.

Post by: boneaddict on December 31, 2018, 11:38:35 AM: That's what he was asking. Same buck or not (found 10 mos apart)

Post by: blackveltbowhunter on December 31, 2018, 12:30:20 PM: Thanks :tup: When he mentioned "match" in the latest post I was confused.

Post by: youngbull on December 31, 2018, 04:55:47 PM: What type of terrain are you finding your sheds in velvet hunter
Title: Re: Same buck?
Post by: blackveltbowhunter on December 31, 2018, 07:36:04 PM: It depends a lot on what animal I am after. :dunno: I am assuming the sheds you posted are from a Blacktail, if so then mixed terrain of heavy timber with fern is where I tend to start. If those are mule or bench sheds then its different and my former posts are also ammended :chuckle:

Post by: huntnfmly on December 31, 2018, 08:40:21 PM: Different buck
The angle of where they attach to pedicle is alot different and I don't think in one year would change that much
Title: Re: Same buck?
Post by: Tradhunter on December 31, 2018, 09:35:37 PM: Agree on different buck but similar genetics. I have found sheds almost identical to each other for size and shape with only one having a little eye guard. Also to me I would think a 1/4 mi apart for a blacktail is not likely unless it was pushed hard to leave his area. I could be wrong though.

Post by: youngbull on January 01, 2019, 01:03:36 PM: I used to think the core area was small also but i think in larger areas to cover after lots of scouting. Especially during the rut 1 to 2 mikes is nothing for chasing a doe.

Post by: Tbob on January 01, 2019, 02:15:37 PM: I think different buck too.. there’s that little “crook” at the tip of the one antler and not on the other. I would think that trait would carry over from year to year.. but dang those are some beautiful sheds!
