Wondering if I could get some input on this fella. New place that we got on late this year and have a lot of bucks coming in with a lot of character/trash on them. Hoping it's not poor genetics

These aren't the best pictures but let me know what you can. Thanks in advance for the help.

Top and bottom pictures are 100% same as they came from the same camera less then a minute apart. Compare rack from pic 2 at 55gal feeder to last picture. I'm almost certain it's the same guy. Characteristics are pretty similar, he just turned a little at feeder causing rack to look off.

Top picture is a different buck than the last 2 pics, which is the same buck. Hard to tell much on those two bucks from those pics but they appear to be middle-aged at most.

I just don't see it. The bottom buck has a split going backwards off this right G2. The buck in the top photo does not.

After looking further, I think the second and third photos are the same deer. The first photo appears to be a different deer. I can't really tell enough from these photos for an accurate guess at age. He looks mature in second photo and middle-aged in the third.

I think pic 2-3 are same deer. Pic 1 looks like a different deer.

Pic 1 looks 3 yo.

Not great pictures, but I could see pics 2 & 3 being an old deer.

2nd and 3rd photo are 100% the same buck and body wise he just looks different in the way he is standing. You can see the little G2/NT pt on both pics but just more prevalent in the last pic due to the fact he is closer to the camera. If, I mean a huge if he is the same buck in all the pics then he grew some extra points after the first pic was taken and changed the shape of his main beams in about 60 seconds before the last pic was taken.

pic #1 is a middle aged deer, pic 2 & 3 is a middle aged deer as well.

Neither will make AR's.

2 different deer. I wouldn't be interested in either one. They're middle aged at best and probably wouldn't make AR width. JMO


In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

I'm gonna trust the OP knows his deer and after looking at all pic, I'm convinced 1 and 3 are the same deer and 2 is a different buck. I'd guess 3.5 years old

I am amazed that buck with no brow tine on his right antler and a weak 1" on his left could miraculously grow a split brow tine on his right antler and then add length to his left browtine in 60 seconds.

I don't understand what's so hard about this. Two different bucks. First photo is one buck, 2nd and 3rd photos are of a different buck than the first. And the second and third photos are of the same buck. Even Ray Charles could see that.

I'm with stxranchman 100%!

The 1st pic is a different buck. 2nd and 3rd pics are of the same buck. The two were probably traveling together, which would explain pics 1 and 3 being about a minute apart.

1st buck (pic 1) is probably 3 1/2 and nothing special. I'd let him get to 5 1/2 to see what happens.
2nd buck (pics 2&3) I believe is also 3 1/2. That being said, he has some better character to his rack. The bladed brows in particular are intriguing. I would keep a close eye on him and see what his progress looks like in the next year or two. He may become too temping to pass up sooner than you think.
my 2 cents...
