I believe this is the same buck from last year! Had him at 4.5 last year and he’s looking 5.5this year? Would y’all agree?

Looks to be the same buck...but I would have called him 5 last yr minimum.

Looks like he gained a little width.

X2

I agree that he looked 5 last year.

X3

Looks like a different deer to me, beams look to have a different shape, brows are different shape, and he has a faint double throat patch last year and although it is really tuff to tell with his light coat now I don't see one.

Nice

Yeah, me also at at least 5 1/2. Triangulated jaw and furrowed brow speak to me.

Could be but not sure same buck. Brows straighter up last year and spacing between 2s and 3s different in how they angle. Beam doesnt hook in as much this year. Need more pics.

Good catches fellas.
It may be a different buck altogether.

Y’all might be right! We have a lot of the same genetics running around that spot so it would not supprise me. We’ll see what he looks like when he rubs that fuzzy stuff off!

I'm having trouble with the breast color...could be different deer. I agree the first deer is 5 1/2..this could be older..shape of beams different ..however there is not the sway back I would expect but the deer is light on weight...hams are thin...eyes are squinting.would like another pic in a couple of months.

Here’s another pic
