re: Would you cull this buck or give him another year to see...

Would not shoot buck #1. He's only 1.5 yr old and could easily be a nice buck in a couple of years. You really can't tell much at all about a deer during his first two sets of antlers. A fawn born a little later in the year than most will lag a bit behind, but quickly catch up by year 3 or 4.

Deer #2 has to be your call. He looks closer to 2 than 3 to me, but I don't know a what a typical 3yr old in your area looks like. If I had previous trail cam pics and knew him to be 3+, I'd def take him out. At only 2.5 - I'd probably give him a pass.

And then again, I have a real hard time passing any deer when they are broadside at 15yds with a bow in my hand.
