Same deer 1 year later?

[bigbuck]

The first picture is a deer we got on our trail cam in Oct 2010. I actually posted it last year and most people thought it was an old deer past his prime, and I kind of thought the same.
This second pic is a deer I harvested this year. It was the only mature WT we seen.It was a real tough hunting season, with a combination of winter kill and the amount of tags given out mule deer #s were down and whitetail #s were way down as well. I was lucky enough to get a shot at this guy while he was chasing a doe, I was just curious what everyone thinks of the buck and if its the same one in the trail cam pic from the year before. If it is he sure put on a lot of bone. Thanks guys

Sure looks like the same deer to me:) That or a brother, nice deer dude!

No doubt in my mind. Not only antler configuration but the look and shape of his muzzle. Not sure what about it...maybe the long skinny look but it looks very similar in both pics.

I would say almost 100 percent the same deer. His face looks the same as well as his antler configuration. Your deer has awesome mass congratulations.
