Same Deer?

This is a picture of the buck I killed Sunday and a trail cam pic from 2011 of what I think is the same buck. What do you guys think?9363

Looks close. Hard to tell at that angle. I would assume the buck in the photo would have grown more since 2011. Either way congrats on a nice buck

I agree with smokin_aces. It definitely looks similar but you would have thought he would have added a little more.

It sure does look the same. I wish his ear wasn't in the way.

Yeah, it doesn't help that they are 145 degree difference in the pictures. If it is the same deer, what he didn't gain in antler growth he picked up in body mass. I'm guessing here, but I would say he was a good 250+ lb before I dressed him. He looked like a horse across the CRP field when I saw him.

looks to be the same deer to me. on right side look at the distance from the middle tine to back tine. sorry guys i know you refer to them as g2's, 3's, ext. but im not educated with some terms/scoring deer, and all that lol. on that left side he just broke 1 off this year. also looks about right for ohio to me on how much new antler growth, and body mass in 1 year...man im almost certain thats the same deer!
