Are these sheds the same buck? My best buddy picked up the brown set in 2005 and the white set hit the dirt in 06' and we found it this shed season(07'). The sets were about 3 to 4 miles apart as the crow flys in the same winter range. Check out the slag at the base of the sheds. They are really close as far as mass and main beam length. The brown set was sitting under a tree together a foot apart and the white set were laying 2 to 3 feet apart also.

They look like they might be related, but I would vote that they're not the same buck.

Shedfreak380 · Nov 19, 2007

If its not the same buck then it is the same genetic pool great buck/bucks either way. big front end nice

I'd vote same buck...I've seen certain traits jump back and forth between a deer's right side and left from year to year. Cool find.

shedfreak91 · Dec 2, 2007

not the same buck, he would have got smaller the next year if they were.

everbrownshed · Dec 2, 2007

He would of have got smaller the next year? Do you mean bigger? If you meant bigger, he did get bigger. Brown set was shed in 05 and white set in 06.

Definately some genetics if nothin else.

I am no shed pro by any means. They look like they could be from the same deer to me? What makes you guys think that they arent from the same deer? What do you look for in this situation?

HNTBIGBULLS · Dec 4, 2007

I would say yes they are from the
same buck, Mainly because of the
points on the burr and the 3 point
frame.
I hope you find the spring 07 set.

I have two sets from one animal that look remarkably like those, even down to the burr points I'll try to get some pics of them.

LAST EDITED ON Jan-02-08 AT 03:34PM (MST)[p]Here's a few sets that are similar to yours. I found the top set in 2003 and the bottom set in exactly the same spot in 2006.

Now thats a three point buck. Good horns.

ORhornhog · Jan 10, 2008

Yeah that is a nice 3 point set. here is another.

BreederBuck · Feb 19, 2008

Hold the bases (buttons) together that is usually a tell tell sign. Im guessing not the same buck but the two bucks go to the same place for thanksgiving.

HuntinFoo · Feb 19, 2008

Another for same genes but a different buck

ClorideRUS · Feb 19, 2008

Gotta look at the burr's that will tell the tale every time. I can't tell from the photos but if the burr's got the same shape you probably got a match from year to year.
