Do you think these 2 dead bucks are related???

[jerryb]

yep it looks like the same genes to me.
Good finds    

[Gun]

I'd say so. That's kind of neat. I like a rack with character. We have a 3x3 gene around here that's pretty strong. Wish some Massive Non-Typical would stop by some November!

[steadman]

I think they are related as well. Mabey we will see some of the other relations on the hoof. Great pics Bud!! Talk to you soon.

[rightminded]

I would say yes.  The gene pools in my hunting area are track able for the last 20 years.

[BWD]

I'd say they were branch kin at least.

[stickbowmaniac]

there defintly got to be related

[kennym]

Yep,nice find(s) Tracy!!

[Soilarch]

From what few bucks I've seen living (while hunting) I have no doubt genetics can produce nearly identical racks.

Unfortunately, I began noticing this because they all had the same deformities.

On the flip side there is strand of AMAZING 3-pointer genetics running through my woods. Can't decide whether a 100+" 3-pointer is bad or neat.  

Cousins, brothers, father/son...twins?

Yes to all the above.


You've messed up now though...you'll be searching for #3 the rest of your life

Dad and Lad-Hap

[BowMIke]

Definately swimming in the same gene pool!

[fatman]

:cool:  

yup

[NightHawk]

perhaps brother and sister????

Oh sweet mystery of life: I finally found you....

They sure appear to have some coomon genetics.  Deer racks in our area have a couple common traits that show up over and over through the years.  Any thoughts on the comparison of the "Hole in the Horn Buck" killed over 50 years ago and the "Beatty Buck" killed within the last ten years.  They have lots of common unique features and were killed in a close proxomity of each other.  I'll bet there has already been testing done on both to see if they were related.

Way cool racks...

Nice find bud..
