Age these bucks
Been getting some good trail camera pictures as of late and after watching Quality Whitetails last night on TV, got me thinking about age.
Just curious what everyone thinks on these bucks....

And I'm going to throw in 1 more from late last summer because I'm very curious.

RE: Age these bucks
1. 1.5
2. 2.5
3. 2.5 (but a nice 2.5yr old)
4. 3.5
5. 2.5
6. 3.5-4.5....and a damned nice deer
Grain of salt. I'm trying to learn how to do this. Summer's a tough time to judge them, also. Looks like you'r ein a great spot, though.

RE: Age these bucks
Thanks for the input guys and I'm still trying to figure it out too. It's hard to do. About the only one I will disagree on everyone with is #2. #1 & 2 travel together all summer. He started off with a puny little rack and honestly if he was 120# soaking wet, it is a lot. I still see him and he is adding weight but still small. What's interesting and this picture is that best to tell but he appear he will be a 9 point by fall as his right brow is split and coming up as 2.
#6 was an amazing buck and was only a 6 point. We found him dead last fall, looks like he was hit by a car. A friend was going to get the jaw aged but never did.
GMMAT, as for the spot, this is behind my shed, not 85 yards from the house. Makes it tough to work in the Fall.
