Closeups

[azcouesandelk]

I cropped some pictures to get some good closeups. The 2 nice 3x3's are different bucks if you look at the left antler you can really see the different angles of the g1 and g2. Some good genes going around.

 

You guys are probably tired of seeing these bucks but I like posting pics when I am bored

 

Small 3x3

 

Nice 3x3 from december

 

Nice 3x3 from janurary (about 1 1/2 miles away from other nice 3x3)

 

 

It is possible they are the same buck but they look alot different to me in the pics. Both are shooters in my book.

Those two bucks are different bucks, the second buck has a longer beam than the 3rd and more space in between points, possibly brothers though, also the bucks have a bit of a different spread as well, IMO

christian, they are different bucks. the right G2 on the bottom buck is longer than on the buck above it. CB.

[TREESTANDMAN]

That is definately the same buck. I'm guessing the slight difference of angle and grainyness of the one picture are throwing some of you off? To me the racks are identicle.

Gamehauler I try to sleep every now and then but when I dont have class on Fridays and am not out of town it is hard to lay down and sleep. So I stay up and read even more about coues

 

Elkhunter I didnt even realize the larger gaps between the g2 and g3 good catch and the mainbeams do seem longer on the second buck.

 

Also if you look you can see that the second buck has a longer face than the third. The main difference that seperates these bucks to me is that the second bucks right eyeguard is a little further up the mainbeam and grows inward slightly as the third bucks grows almost straight up and almost right from the base.

I see where you guys are coming from w/ the G2 and longer main beam. Everything else just looks so identicle I'm guessing those differences are illusions from angle and distance? I very well may be wrong?

[TREESTANDMAN]

After reviewing further, I'm changing my mind. 2 different bucks.

[GameHauler]

RATS, that didn't work

[azcouesandelk]

I know what you mean treestandman. The biggest difference that stands out to me is that the second buck had about a 14 to 15 inch spread and the third buck had about a 11 or 12 inch spread. I was able to see the top buck 2 different times about 2 weeks apart and he was within 100 yards of the first place I had seen him. The third buck I was able to watch through my spotting scope at 300 yards. It is hard to tell from the pictures but the third buck has darker antlers and a reddish patch on the top of his head inbetween his antlers that the buck in the second picture didnt have. This was a test to see if anybody could tell the difference and these bucks are indeed 2 different bucks

 

Thanks for playing

[TREESTANDMAN]

Looks like someone took him last day of Dec. Looks a little bigger up front and close.

The link isn't working for me. I dont think either were killed in December because I saw both of them in January.
