    These are from last year. They don't every seem to show up on the land I have permission on until October. 2 years ago I think these are the same ones I saw from my stand and I missed both of them this last year. I had good shots but I admittedly wasn't prepared and didn't have a routine for what I needed to do in my head. After I missed the second time I went back to the drawing board during practice and really thought out what I needed to be doing so hopefully the next time one of these guys gives me an opportunity I can capitalize.

    Anyway I'm new to the scoring and age thing so what do you guys think. I know they aren't monsters but they are some of the biggest deer I have seen in my hunting area. And while I would love to have a bunch of 150+ bucks running around I have to hunt what I have permission for. Luckily for me there is virtually no bowhunting going on within miles around where I hunt. All gun hunters. I have pics of these deer after gun season so as long as they avoided the cars and coyotes they should be around this year.

    I guessing the first one at 4.5 and around 125-130. The second at 3.5 and around the same score wise. Hopefully they will both be around 140s this year if I am guessing right.

    Most of you guys and my friends who do this quite a bit are all saying a little higher than I thought on the score. Hopefully that 10th point and hopefully more will come out on the first one and the second will mass up a bit. I love that second rack though. That split g2 just looks tough. Hopefully if everything works out there will be a 150 and 160 running around come october. I showed the landowner these and he said that he has never seen them but he stops going back there when we start hunting and doesn't go back till the weather breaks in the spring.
