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.
