    Hey guys, I'm trying to get better at judging age from pics and I think I'm getting pretty good but I need someone else to guess the ages of these bucks and see how close I am/you are. (I do not know the exact ages I'm just guessing) I also don't like to put my deer pics on the world wide web, thus the covered antlers.

    1st pic: Both 2+ years old
    2nd pic: 3+ years old, possibly 4+ but the long shaggy hair and quartering to is tricky
    3rd pic: Probably 2+ but could be 3+ years old

    If your afraid ur neighbors or someone that knows you might see your deer, you should just go ahead and show them cause you hiding them will just make them want to hunt your area even more cause obviously they are big deer or you wouldn't hide them.

    I never put much thought into it but you are probably smart doing that.
