Score and Age these two deer

---

It's been a while as I've been chasing feathers for a few years. A little sway to their backs I am thinking 3 yrs and 140 ish.

Nice bases so maybe 3 but I’m leaning to 2 years old. I can’t see either one scoring above 120.

140? Jesus, if that’s the case I should have 4 160’s on the wall. Neither will touch 130” and it’s hard to tell mid summer on age but 3-3.5 depending on your location and feeding program if there is one.

Antlers are in velvet and still growing.

Can’t score that.

Hard to tell in summer body’s are lean and velvet always seems to add 10-15in of horn size.
That being said they look like 2yr olds but if you don’t have any kind of protein or agricultural then they could possibly be 3yr old just because that’s a good bit of horn for a 2yr old in poor habitat.
Score 133 in velvet 120 when they shed.

Might hit 120

Hmm, almost impossible to score them as others have also stated.

But to me, they look about 3 years old. The necks look wider at the base telling me they are older deer, but still growing.

Need another year? Lol.

I have other pics of both deer broad side and their bodies say that they’re 3 - 3.5 yrs old. Those are quality deer for Allen Parish.

Left: 3 years, 100”

Right: 4 years, 120”
