That is a very cool sequence of a bachelor group. I can hardly tell where one buck ends and another begins in your last picture. It seems they are coming from the left, in the evening and are staying on what ever that is for a while. A recipe to kill a great buck.

Looks reasonable to me. Are you saying that's the same buck or just examples of each age group.
All 3 pics are the same day. I wouldn't be surprised if the 10 pt in first pic is offspring of the old 10pt

Unfortunately it's the first time they have been by this salt lick in 5 weeks , with that being said I will be on that ridge at 4pm this eve with a S wind and hoping they travel the same path which would put them walking into a crosswind like they did yesterday except it was a north wind!

I just noticed the second buck is still in the 3rd picture
 
Very nice!

I think you are right on with 2.5 in 1st pic, 4.5 in 2nd pic, and in the 3rd pic - I would say that deer is atleast 5.5.

Just for my knowledge, do you know how long ago they lost velvet? They typically will tolerate each other for about 10 days after velvet loss before they break up from what I have seen on our place.

The small 10 was hard horned on a cam 3/4 mile away on 9/5 and the 8 was not in that pic so no clue on the 8& old 10
 
Hmmmmm, why didn't I see the dates at the bottom of the photos?! Guess I've gotten so used to one of my cameras being messed up on times and dates to the point that I don't even look at them. Yeah, that is a nice group of bucks to be sure.
