[QUOTE="BSK, post: 594413, member: 17"] 2 1/2 year-old bucks: By 2 1/2, bucks are really starting to put on considerable muscle. They are usually noticeably larger in body than yearling bucks. The best way to differentiate a 2 1/2 year-old buck from a yearling buck is the thickness of the neck. 2 1/2 year-old bucks have noticeably enlarged necks near the rut. Their bodies will often look [i]substantially[/i] larger than a yearling. However, as much larger as their necks are, a fairly strong distinction still exists between the base of the neck and the beginning of the shoulders. Their legs are starting to look less "long and gracile" compared to a yearling buck.
