Expert Challenge... same deer?

[cotty16]

For a couple years I was chasing a buck that we named Jagger because of the funky jagged edges to some of his points. Anyway, this is a shot in the dark, but could this new pic be him? Sorry, best I have to offer, but the sticker off the right side makes me think it is at least offspring.

This first pic is from 2011...



Then one from 2012...



Unfortunately locate my 2013 pics, but we had some of him. Then we never got a pic in 2014, but today I checked a cam in his old stomping grounds and got these. Could it be?

Tough to tell. 11 and 12 are the same pic.
Guessing potential offspring.

 

[cotty16]

Ben, hit refresh. I messed up the first time posting. Should be different now.

If it's not him, I'd say it's the same genes.

Wish we could get a better look at that right brow tine in tve newest photo. That little squiggly tip is a give away IMO. '11 and 12' the same.

I know! sucks... only two pics I got from this year.

Very similar if it's not him.

If it is him is certainly lends credence to the fact that not all bucks have bigger racks year after year.

It's great to have several years of pics of the same deer. Makes for a nice story. Thanks for sharing.

 

[cotty16]

Yeah, if it's him he's for sure going downhill.

 

[Big_Holla]

Good chance it's him. To me it doesn't look like he's going downhill though, I think the angle and blur of the last couple pics are deceiving for that. Looks like maybe a kicker on his right G2?

 

[cotty16]

Yeah, that kicker is why I thought it might be him.

 

[Quantum673]

I do not think it is the same deer. Could be the angle of the pics though. I would guess they come from the same gene pool but not the same deer.

It's really hard to tell from those pics IMO.

Yeah, I know. Dang it.

Well, on Friday in gonna pour the corn to that area to try and Kody a shot in the evenings of gun week. I'll have the camera over the food. Maybe he will show back up.

I kept going back and forth between the pics, and the brow tines on his left side seem too different to me. I'm gonna say same genes..different deer.
