Same Genetics?

[nmwapiti]

Saw these two on the same day about thirty miles apart.

who knows i guess its possible. but he first thing i would look at to say no is the nice eye guards on one and nothing on the other one.

 

[ICMDEER]

Sure look to be much the same to me. The second buck is younger, but he could sure grow to be like the 4 point. Their grandpa might have been a travelling salesman.

i'm guessing distant cousins at best. given the eye-guard difference and differences in their main beams, i dont think they are brothers.

like i said...just a guess. thanks for sharing the pics.

DEF NOT RELATED. LOOK AT THE WAY THE BIGGER BUCK SMILES... THE LITTLE BUCK ISNT EVEN HAPPY...

 

[nk]

yeah, the lower buck has a receiting hairline and the top buck has a darker head of hair. no way they can be related. close though...

A couple of narrow horned dinks is hardly anything worth speculating over.

 

[BrowningRage]

That first one would ge a great addition to my wall... Most bucks that go over 160" are definitely wider than him. I'd love a narrow-horned, 160" plus buck... If he aint it this year, he will be next...
As for the question- they are similar. To say they are same genetics is a stretch, but when you consider how big, oh let's say, the Book Cliffs are... 30 miles is not a lot for genes to travel. That 3x4 gene in the Books stretches across the majority of the unit (Road Area), so yeah, there may be a connection...
Thanks for posting.

Probably related about as much as you me.

Thousands of deer, a bizillion strings of DNA......and really, these just aren't that close except for similar racks.

I can show you hundreds of deer in California and Colorado with that same basic structure/look.
