That's a dandy right there.

Post by: boneaddict on November 10, 2009, 01:26:21 PM: Actually he was 35 yards from where I last photgraphed him. The dominator WAS standing right about where this pic was taken...... I think this is the second buck in this thread. I think he'll do less watching this year :chuckle:

Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: WAPITIHUNTER on November 10, 2009, 01:35:03 PM: Yep I concur! Definatley same buck. His eyes seem really dark almost like he has mascara on or something. Very cool looking.

Post by: 6x6in6 on November 10, 2009, 01:51:12 PM: Yeah, I'd have to agree......same.
Throat patch, brow, and ear coloring are identical.

Nice find! :)

Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: huntnphool on November 10, 2009, 01:54:37 PM: Look at how the last couple inches of the tines bend in the exact same way, the brows are in the identical position as well.
Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: boneaddict on November 10, 2009, 02:01:03 PM: Same with his flare on the one side withthe G2 hanging in. About ONE more year. :)

Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on November 10, 2009, 02:05:00 PM: Looks like the same deer, but this year he has longer eye guards and less outside spread.....wonder what he is goona have next?

Nothing wrong with the one you got this year though......
Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: boneaddict on November 10, 2009, 02:09:07 PM: Less outside spread.??? He gained a couple inches compare the ear on the left side(our left)
Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on November 10, 2009, 02:14:16 PM: I must have them confused, which picture is from this year? one is clearly beyond the ears and the other is almost even.
Optical illusion?
Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: boneaddict on November 10, 2009, 02:15:14 PM: First is this year. He is taller so that does add some to the illusion. Mostly look at the left.

This is who had to watch this year.....see him in three years. (who the buck was watching in the last pic)

Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: NRA4LIFE on November 10, 2009, 02:33:52 PM: Same deer IMO. The faces are too identical. Kind of an odd shaped snout on both of them too.
Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: boneaddict on November 10, 2009, 02:52:15 PM: I'd almost go out on a limb and say we were looking at one of his kids or younger brothers in the smaller buck. Lots of comparisons in physique and bones.
Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: Hornseeker on November 10, 2009, 06:56:56 PM: Nice shots bone... yep...same buck. He'd be a good one for an arrow eh?
Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: Elkman on November 10, 2009, 07:40:06 PM: Wow, there all Nice! Ok, I'm ready to go! ;)
Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: PacificNWhunter on November 10, 2009, 10:41:17 PM: Looks like the same buck to me too. Especially when phool stacked the pictures ontop of each other. He made some great progress since last year too, can't wait to see him next year.

Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: lewy on December 23, 2009, 06:42:48 AM: looks like the same scar on the inside of his right ear as well
Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: Pathfinder101 on December 25, 2009, 09:08:26 PM: What do you guys think? 4 year old deer? One or two more years and he'll be in his prime...
Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: bow4elk on December 26, 2009, 08:32:42 AM: All he needs now is age...that frame has the potential for deep forks and good fronts. Nice photos, as always!
Title: Re: Hes Back
Post by: boneaddict on January 11, 2010, 03:08:56 PM: Sorry Pathfinder, I missed your ?. Yep, a 4.5 year old probably.
Thanks bow4elk
