Need help aging these deer & WYSI?

What part of the world are the pics from

1.Age I would say 3.5 max maybe 2.5 and just a swole neck from the rut...I would not shoot

2.Age I would say is 2.5...I would not shoot.


But if you want to shot them blast away.

You sure #1 is the same deer in both pics? look different to me

I think #2 is 3y/o and IWSI

Pass on both. Give them time.

Right now I'd shoot anything, but the first deer is a shooter though he would be better next year. 2nd needs more time to grow for a trophy

I would prob let them walk now..i was thinking they were older deer esp. the first one..we only have 130 acres(hunt about 90 of it) but the two adjacent properties arent hunted or very sparsely hunted so we are kind of lucky

#1 is older that 3 years and needs to be shot

In a perfect world I'd let all 3 walk. Were I hunt right now, I'd shoot #1, #2, is hard to tell from that angle/distance but looks like he would be questionable, and #3 I'd want to let walk but would probably shoot if I'd been having a slow season.

Of course, on my lease chances are if you pass on a legal buck once you'll never see him again. The majority of the bucks we have on camera will show up once or twice in the span of a few days and never be seen again.

The G3s

Pass, racks too small. Nice size bodies, but experts say culls are at least 3 1/2. Where I hunt a friend owns bout 1,200 ac and he has spent literally $1m+ trying to develop a trophy herd. If either of those were shot, the shooter would have to pass on all bucks for 2 yrs and shoot only does. The racks do not appear to be outside the ears and there is no sway in the back or sap in the belly. IMO 3 1/2 yo max. I haven't hunting trophies till this year and I watch lots of bucks, (take pics ect) and let them age the deer for me. I an a doe killer for now till I see "big boy". If you see "big boy" there is no question. We had 2 kids shoot bucks with bigger racks last week, (1 was 129" the other not as big). Jaw bones indicated 2 1/2 yo.
