    I don't care if they were fawns, those bucks wouldn't get passed if they walked under my stand. Not even a second thought. Age doesn't really matter when they get that big.

    Both in my opinion exhibit neck/brisket connection, back line, front muscle development and overall girth that extends throughout of a 4+ year old..the second says older to me as well. In that transformation between race horse make up to more of a fully mature deer. Who knows for certain though, harvest one, and have it aged.

    I'd age the meat after shooting them.

    What he said.... They could be older than that though. I doubt they are any younger than 4.5 though.

    I'll agree with you Covey. I think that top buck is a big 3.5. If it weren't Central KS I'd think he was 4.5. That second buck is definitely fully mature.

    I'd say the top one is 3.5 to 4.5 and the bottom one about a year older. Based on that his body looks a little more filled out and the abnormal points on the antlers.
