I am not a great judge of age on deer. I am in washington county everyone around me is pretty much in the mindframe of " horns out side the ears, he's down!" What do you guys think? this is my first year to feed protein and i can tell a huge differene from last years body size and horn growth.

The bottom of the feed tube is about chest high on me...somwhere around 5 ft on meComment

im sure that its lower now that it has rained a bit out there and the wait of the feeder is pushing the legs down into the ground.Comment

Age and score these two
How do they feed from tube being that high?Comment

The does and younger deer I have pictures of them standing on their hind legs and getting food that way. The bucks on the other hand just turn their head and use their tongues. I have been meaning to lower it but work is so crazy I haven't had a chance to. My dad goes up and swaps out the cards in the camera so I get to see what is coming to the feeder.Comment

At least you shouldn't spend much on protein with that setup.Comment

Actually, they are there all day and all night. I have had to fill that 55gallon drum 5 times since April. Holds four 50# bags. We have a lot of deer but only a few that ever make it to this size. Too many people have the attitude of "brown, it's down" around me.
Can anyone give a ballpark on the age and score of these deer?Comment
-
105-110ish on both at a quick glanceComment

How old do you think they are? Don't want to Put a young one down especially if they can contribute to the gene pool! I normally have been shooting bucks with an unbranched antler.Comment

Buddy of mine thinks they are both around 3.5 does anyone think that's accurate?Comment
