Great photos! If the pics are from the last few days, I would say that they wont gain much more for inches of antler. The points that they have will be it for this year. The first pic looks like a spike or three point maybe with a third point on the right beam. The second pic is a nice little 4 pointer. Without a full body shot it makes it a bit difficult to age these bucks but I would say they are 2 year old bucks judging from neck and body size and muscle tone.  Notice I didn't judge them by antler size. I have seen a case of less than ideal genetics, where a 5 year old buck was harvested during VT youth weekend and a biologist confirmed the age. This buck was a spike buck with 12 inch spikes. It doesn't happen very often, but an older buck can have not so big antlers. Good luck this season!

I see your avatar with the turkey. Sorta like measuring a bird by its hooks and not its beard. Being from VT, care to send me some Alchemist Headdy Topper ? lol

 

IMO 2 year olds too. They'll taste better than some slob of a buck  Nice pics. Good luck to you if you opt to hunt them

Very true about turkey. I have also seen big long hook tom's with a 6 inch beard. Because of a icy winter his beard must have frozen and broke off short is all I could think of. I had to look up Alchemist Heady Topper, I got a chuckle out of you asking. I don't drink but maybe a few times a year with friends at a dinner. Even then its usually a nice red wine. So I guess the best I could do for you would be to acquire something in your taste to have on hand when you come to visit for an outdoor adventure.  I have some great friends at the Woodchuck Brewery here in VT. Just let me know when your in the area, I'll get you into some fun and keep you hydrated.....

Been my experience in the area where I hunt with only natural browse is what they have for a rack by the middle to end of July is pretty much what you'll see in the fall, less the velvet. Possible exception being if they happen to have access to agr crops that ripen in the summer months.
