[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5668295, member: 2805"] It's not hard to age them without antlers or in velvet. Just look at leg length vs chest depth. If legs are longer than depth of chest, they are young (like the 2 bucks in your pic... those are 2.5yos) if the chest depth is about the same as leg length, they are 3.5. If the chest is deeper than the legs, they are mature. The only problem with that is you need to be able to see the entire animal from his back to the ground without obscuring vegetation... and there's usually a lot of vegetation blocking the legs in summer [/QUOTE]
