Help me age the 8pt

[Brhibler1]

Last year this 8 showed up and his rack was smaller but still 8.
What age do y'all think he is?

My brother took an 8 with the same similar rack on this lease 10yrs ago.
So I believe this is their genetic makeup and that he won't increase points. There's another buck like him out there and one more that looks older with horns that might be going down hill. Then again, when rut starts, I may find some different bucks due to my increased doe population from feeding all year.

Hard to tell in that picture but looks like a 2 or 3 yr old. I would let him walk

Here's 2 more pics. How about the 7? Does he look older?

[Brhibler1]

I'll defiantly let them go another year or 2. I'm more interested in filling the fridge this year, lots of does.

Are you up there now? Did all the rain change the deer movement?

[Brhibler1]

I've been checking my cameras weekly.
Seems that the does were somewhere else after the rain and the bucks came out of hiding.

My tree stand camera was set up wrong, duh, and recorded like a plot camera. Filled up the card in 4 days. Stopped Thursday before the rain set in and there were no deer. But the fresh mud in the creek bed told another story. Lots of tracks after rain!

My rouge hog showed up Sunday night. He makes an appearance once a week almost. 300lbs or more.
