Do I wait one more year???

This was the deer in 2016, then in 2017. Is he done growing??

That first buck is an absolute slob, looks like he's ready to be 'deflated' if you ask me. The only way I'd pass him is if he never gave me an opportunity to harvest him

They are the same deer... from last year to this year. Missed hit last year on a rushed shot. Now he came back looking completely different. Would you wait another year to see if he gets taller??

They have the same chunk out of right ear missing. In other photos

Might be on the way down and out... I know I wouldnt be able to let him go...

Whichever you choose, best of luck!

I would never guess that was the same buck, talk about a huge change.

 

[muddy]

If he doesn't trip your trigger I don't know what would.

I wouldn't have guessed same either. Usually they add character with age not lose it all. I couldn't pass him

I've seen em go from 10's to 8's, or other weird changes, but usually they keep similar frames or traits, those deer look nothing alike! Lol Smoke em, I say!

No way i pass. Awesome buck

Your decision. I have one buck on camera the past several years. First caught him in his prime for 3 years, then progressively got shorter on the tines. Width and beam mass stayed about the same. Haven't seen him this year yet. He's most likely 10-11 this year, if still around.

You sure it's the same buck? just weird that he would change that much.

2 different deer. A lot of deer have torn ears. Brow tines are totally different and those hardly ever change. Second deer is wide frame and first is narrow frame. That's is predetermined with genetics. First deer is older with major graying around eyes.

I don't think they are the same either. To many differences for me. The overall frames are nothing alike. That doesn't change without injury in my experience

 

[soil]

Looks like different deer to me as well. If that turns out to be the case, maybe you get a bonus buck you weren't expecting!

 

[NWBuck]

Different deer if you ask me. And either one of the would get an arrow if it were me choosing

 

[Whitetails1]

Maybe I'm missing something but those are two definitely different bucks and I have to LOL regarding the pass. Man either you have other studs to choose from or you are just looking for a 200" buck but no way in Sam hell either one would get a pass!! Good luck with them.

Those cuts look pretty similiar to me??? The brow tines look identical to me as well.. What do you think these deer would score??

The notch looks higher up the ear on the 2nd buck.

After yesterdays card pull I think I have tracked the tall guy down again.. Missed him last year at 20 yrds and he moved to a new park of the farm.. So what deer would you guys be going after or what deer is going to score best this year?? The main frame 10? The Main frame 12? Or the non typical crazy bastard??
