Default Seeing double!!??

Well, I was out this morning in the same stand that I passed the 135" 8 pointer from last Saturday. At 7:10 AM He came by again giving me an 18 yard, standing still broadside shot. I passed again. I figured that I'd see him again latter in the morning. At 8:35 AM I see 2 deer approaching my stand from the opposite direction of the previous buck. I'm thinking that it might be a buck following a doe. When the first deer pops out from behind the brush and into my shooting lane I see it is the buck from earlier this morning. He stops giving me another shot then moves off. I'm now waiting on the second deer and suddenly I glimpse antler! As he steps into the shooting lane and stops I can't believe my eyes! He has got to be the identical twin brother to the buck that has just passed! After seeing both deer together, I believe that one is a 4 1/2 and the other is a 3 1/2. The older looking one is quite a bit heavier than the other one but I came up with the same antler score for both of them. Their racks are nearly identical! I have never seen this before and it was quite exciting. They gave me 3 ligit shots at 16, 18 and 20 yards. Now for the big boys!

Good luck to all.

I wish I had the same "seeing double" problem you're having with 135" bucks in bow range. But I'm not greedy, one will do just fine!
