Which one could be him?

In your opinion, are either of these 3 bucks from last year the 9 point from this year?
The first pic is this year's 9 and the last 3 pics are bucks from last year in the same vicinity.

My guess is the 3rd pic. Similar brows, tips of main beams curve up a bit etc. this year, it's same basic rack with a bit more mass

Id say the only one possible is #2

****after really really lookin I dont think its any of them*****

Gordo · Aug 8, 2013

I cant imagine his right side being that much different from the previous year

Could be #3 but I say brothers.

finelyshedded · Aug 9, 2013

Not really sure Mike. IMO, it COULD be either 2 or 3 but I'm kinda leaning more towards #3 as well.

Could be 3 but I would have expected him to add a bit more than he dis this year if that was the case. They could be brothers. Either way its a nice one.

Just to add on to what Joe said about adding on bone for next year. Some deer just don't have it for whatever reason being it health,nutrition,genes,rain,healthy momma that dropped him or an abundant walnut crop.lmao

Ron and I've seen 6.5 year olds that wouldn't make 125" and 2.5 year olds score 130's. some deer add on 10" in a year and some over 30-40" in a year. It's no guarantee what the heck these deer are going to do come next year.

This is so true. If I had to guess, my pick is #3 as well. Very similar rack, but he sure didn't grow much body or rack wise...

JOHNROHIO · Aug 9, 2013

I would go with #3 also, but like others said you would think there would be some more growth.

Fullbore · Aug 9, 2013

#3 IMO. Tip of beams are so similar.

#3 gets my vote TOO

The more I look, I think maybe bucks 2 and 3 are the same one with and without velvet. Which means they could be the 9 from this year.
One thing to keep in mind, in regard to body size, the buck in pic 3 is all rutted out versus a summer buck.

Summer pics make it tough to judge for me for sure. I was leaning towards 2, but 3 sure did look close. I dunno. Maybe 2 and 3 are the same.

dante322 · Aug 10, 2013

I like #3. They all look like they are related though.

MK111 · Aug 10, 2013

#3 imho

xbowguy · Aug 10, 2013

abundant walnut crop. rotflmao

yotehunter · Aug 10, 2013
