I was thinking 2.5y/o.

Pic was taken in January or February.

I'm thinking the 2nd deer is 3.5-4.5.

Whatever the ages, we now have a 10pt that I believe is one of these deer. All horn characteristics are very, very similiar. THe 2nd deer's beams/browtines are almost identical to the 10pt this year.

Am I wrong?

Not that any of this is important. lol I'm just bored and curious to your opinions.

Deer #2 has 4" bases. I know because I have the left shed. lol

WOuld be very, very uncommon for a 2.5y/o buck on our place to have mass like this. In fact, be pretty uncommon for a 3.5y/o to have that kind of mass. The whole beam is pretty thick.

I passed on the first deer one morning. I thought he was a 7pt and was to small either way. Once we got pics of him pretty regular at that location, I knew that had to be him. He is real small, even smaller than those pics show.
