    I have posted pics of these 2 before, and Drop tine has been haunting me since I had him at 15 yards 2 times one morning last fall. Unfortunately a good shot never presented itself and i never let one fly his direction. But now that he is back and growing I am feeling less sorry for my dud last year, and more excitement for the Bow season to come. I am just curious on some opinions on age of these two deer would be. In my best opinion (which is not saying a lot), I think that the 9 still has room to grow as he looks like a younger deer to me. The drop on the other hand was just curious what you all thought on age. Do not get me wrong I am not looking for a reason to let the drop walk this year, because he will not get a pass.

    Any input on age would be much appreciated...

    I can't tell either. All I know is that it doesn't suck to be you! Best of luck with them!

    I'm going back and forth on the drop. I'd put the 9 in his third year. The drop might be/probably is 4.

    I'd shoot him too. Glad you didn't shoot him last year. He's great this year.

    Good luck to you. Either would make a great trophy.

    I don't guess ages or scores because I'm not into that but they are both serious bucks that would definitely get my attention if they passed by my stand. Good luck this season.
