    This one has more developed antlers.

    Is this buck up and coming and might be something nice in a few years.



    This one has a larger body and less impressive antlers.

    Is this buck on the down hill swing of life.


    I am trying to be a better sportsman by taking mature buck, even if that means the antlers are not huge. In return for some better deer in the future.

    Thanks for any help!

    I think that they are both young deer. Probably 2.5 year olds.

    How about this bucks age?

    And his one?

    I have gotten at least nine different buck on camera this year and I believe they are all young bucks, I don't know if the older ones will be in the area during the rut or there are just none getting old in this area. The property is small and surrounded by farm land.
