Age these 3 bucks

[8pointer]

One of our hunters that got off our lease sent me these pictures this week. The dates on the camera are wrong. These pictures are post rut in January.

#1



#2



#3

I could be wrong but I believe the bucks in #1 and #2 are possibly the same unless you're talking about the buck in the back of #2. I would have him at 4 1/2 no younger and #3 looks 5 1/2 atleast.

From those pics I would say all 3 are 5.5 and the last buck may be 6.5. Especially if they are all post rut.
Of course it's hard to age of the but+ pic on the second deer

I think 1 & 2 are same deer also. Both bucks look 5 1/2 to me.

[rlwenzel]

I think that all three bucks are the same and he needs to be shot. 5.5+

[gingib]

Not 3 diff bucks for sure.

All look 4.5 min

[LiftAndShoot]

Yeah, these are old deer. I had them at 5.5 and 4.5

This is close to what we are guesstimating. At a closer look, the first 2 bucks look like the same deer. Same inward curvature on his right G3. We have no history with that deer at all. I'm calling him 4.5+ leaning towards 5 1/2 looking at that nose.

Buck # 3 is one that I saw throughout the season and have quite a few pictures of him, even video. We have him at 4 1/2.

Here is video of that buck

No way to be 100% sure on the pics Jack. We think somewhere between mid December to early January. The video I filmed the third weekend of January.

I say first two same but 4.5 last 5.5 if not 6.5.

[KactusKiller]

Looking at the video if probably lean more towards 5.5 but that late in the season I'd have a hard time putting him younger. He has the body of a 4.5 now and he is prob as thin as he has been all year. His head is telling me older and he has a bit of a stiff legged walk which usual suggests an older arthritic stiff jointed deer.
Should be a really good deer next year if he hits the feed good.
