So, my question is this....do you think or know of research that has been done to back up that genetics determine the structure of antlers in bucks?
This is why I ask. Looking at my first buck vs the one I shot a couple days ago, the structures look nearly identical. It's kind of hard to tell from the pic, but they both share identical design. From the difference in length of brow tines (the left side is longer on each) to identical bifurcations to exact same number of points and identical number of points on each side....what do you guys think?
My opinion is that there is a strong correlation, but could it be so closely related that they grow nearly identical antler structures?
Edit: I should add that both were shot on the same small piece of land 3 years apart.
