Same Buck?

[MK-M-GOBL]

A buddy I worked with years ago took these photos of deer in his backyard when MD got hit with the snow storm. So I called up my brother to tell him about maybe shed hunting in this area seeing the one buck was pretty decent (a NH shooter but not worth picking up the bow in MD ). He told me he shed hunts close to where my buddy lives and he even took a photo of a nice buck. I sent him the pics and he thinks it's the same buck. After he sent me his photo he took, I'm on the same page as him. I think it's the same buck.

I know deersheds photo isn't as close but it was the best he could do. So what do you guys think? Same buck or different buck?

We got hit hard with snow when a blizzard hit here,then a second storm hit leaving us with over 30" laying.I haven't been back in that area yet.No doubt by the time I do make it back in that buck will have dropped.
Hopefully I can find his sheds and solve this mystery.

Tomorrow I'll post a pic of a set of matched sheds I found today.There's no question the set came off the same buck Tom has pics of.And I'll bet a hundred bucks it's the same buck I took the pic of.
The buck in the 2 different pics is the same buck.

I tried for the life of me to try and enlarge then save a pic of the pic I took.I can't get the pic to save when I'm done.

OK,yesterday I found this shed and knew exactly what buck it came from.I found it a couple hundred yards from where I took my pic with the buck still carrying.





After searching all around where I thought I'd find the other side.200 yards in the opposite direction and almost 200yds away I spot this.







When I first saw this buck still carrying the brow tines curving inward is what caught my eye.If you enlarge the pic I took of the buck you can see the tines curving inward too.You can also see the little crab claw on the right antler.Not that too many buck this size are in this area.



A couple more pics.No doubt at all it's the same buck that's in Tom's pics.

That is so AWESOME Steve Now, are you going to give that set to your good brother that got this shed hunting mystery going ;D

Congratulations on finding them bro Also, did that other piece of woods pan out with more sheds? On the aerial map it looks pretty sweet.

You'll have to get a print of both those photos and keep it with the set.
