I believe these deer are related

[deadeye]

I thought there was something familar with the deer I shot last fall.  I wanted to compare it to one I shot from the same stand back in 2005 but was afraid I had lost track of the 2005 rack.  Well, while looking for a small deer horn to decorate a picture frame, I found the 2005 rack. The most striking simularity is the dagger like brow tines. The one on the plaque is from 2005 and the european mount is from 2011.

I'm not a biologist, but they look really similar to me.  The brow tines and the coloring are almost the same on both racks.

They look like they could be brothers.  Hope you get their other brother this fall.
