Can bucks carry the same configuration and points from one year to another. I have a 6 point on camera he is using the same trail and I swear he looks the same from the one I have pics of last year. Same habit coming in after dark.
I played peek a boo with a beautiful 6 point last year that was the biggest 6 point I have seen here in South Carolina.
Could it be the same buck? Of course, never seen him while on stand. But did get two of his 8 point buddies.
Also, have a nice kitty on camera and of course some very fat coons

…. Ya’ll need to start microchipping them at birth so can know for certain

DNR frowns upon that. But good idea though. If I get a chance this season. I'll microchip him with a 150 grain 30/30 or 308 speer fusion bullet.

lol … hope you get him !

The answer is yes

yes - some 6 pointers never get brow tines and stay 6 until death

Yes.

Yes...

Here is just one example....

Last fall...3 years old.


Yesterday...4 years old.


He's a little bigger but same rack configuration. Using the exact same area at the exact same time as last year.

Yes they can stay the same.Sometimes they change.Know of one buck that is a typical 8 pointer this year and was a typical 7 pointer last year.
