    Help with deer age? New property

    I recently purchased 40 acres and got just a few trail cam pictures from the previous owner, just wondering what the age of the two deer in the picture would be. I am really wanting to manage the land because even though it's only 40 acres there is not much pressure on the surrounding properties. Thanks for any help guys.

    So shooters? Or do they still have room to grow, also what details do you look for in aging a deer.

    Any guess on what they would score? And yes those are great deer for central Oklahoma I think anyways, but I'm just not sure how I will ever kill a deer that's a true stud or giant whatever you wanna call it without letting deer that size walk. But on the same token I don't wanna let a good deer like that walk if it's reached its true potential and that's where I am at a loss of what to do. Most deer on the property that I have seen pictures of are about that caliber or in that range.

    Those deer has a lot more potential, I would let them walk if I were you, scoring wise they would probably be in the 90-100 range
