What do y'all think? Sorry for the crappy pictures. If you want to throw any guesses out for score and age, be my guest.

Looks a lot like same deer but hard to say with certainty without more pics.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

Are these pics from the same year? If so, I'm gonna say no, not the same deer. If you look at the left G4, the bottom buck looks more upright and at a greater angle to the main beam than the top where that G4 looks to be at a tighter angle to the main beam.
The racks are extremely similar and it could simply be an illusion due to the lighting and grainy resolution, but I'm still landing on no.

The racks are extremely similar and it could simply be an illusion due to the lighting and grainy resolution, but I'm still landing on no. I saw the G4 angle as well....but attribute it to the angle of the photo. In first photo we see the 'inside' of the rack and the second photo...the view is of the 'outside' of the photo. So looking more at general structure (not a single tine) I notice the right side antler has progressively shorter G2,G3,G4....whereas the left side antler has tines nearly the same height (only the G4 slightly shorter). This remains in both photos. Also, note the last few inches of the left side 'main beam' terminates in a slightly 'bladed' antler with a slight dip in the last couple of inches. You see the same thing in both pics (inside view and outside view). Angle of the photos can significantly change the appearance of certain characteristics (width in particular) and the curvature (or lack of) a single tine, but not the general structure as a whole. I'd wager its the same buck.....but it IS possible another could have a very similar rack. At that point we'd have to guess at the 'odds' of it being two different deer with remarkably similar antlers. (size of property, deer density, time of year, etc).

Same year. About two weeks apart. Are these pics from the same year? If so, I'm gonna say no, not the same deer. If you look at the left G4, the bottom buck looks more upright and at a greater angle to the main beam than the top where that G4 looks to be at a tighter angle to the main beam.
The racks are extremely similar and it could simply be an illusion due to the lighting and grainy resolution, but I'm still landing on no. Same year. About two weeks apart.

Flint nailed it. Same deer, just different angles. It’s amazing how easily they can look dissimilar with just a little change in angle.

I noticed what kry and flint noticed and thought it was probably the angle. That lg4 looks almost crablike(but long) in the first pic but the curvature does weird stuff to hide whats really there. Need more pics and angles but I would say same deer.

I’m in the same buck camp. That view from behind not only gives you a different angle but also always makes them look bigger than they are.
