re: Are these the same deer?

It looks like the same deer with a little different angle to me. The first picture the main beams look longer but it is a different angle (quartering slightly away shot compared to a quartering shot). If you examine the G4's in each of the pictures on both mainbeams they look pretty similar on both main beams.

I've had shots of bucks that we thought to be different deer but once the buck (10pt) was killed we could tell it was the same deer.
