Another "Age This Buck" Thread...

[WNY Bowhunter]

These threads are always kind of interesting. Pics are all hot of the press from a card pull today. I should add they are from the Southern Tier/ Western Finger Lakes Region. I do not know definitively the correct answer to the ages of any of these bucks other than suspected history with several of them.

 

Buck 1:

 

Buck 2:

 

Buck 3:

 

Buck 4:

 4

 

Buck 5:

Besides buck number 4 my guess is all between 2.5-3.5 all seem to have slimmer bodies I would say number 4 is 3.5 and up.  I’m not really good at judging them age wise unless there’s another deer in a picture.

If you send me the locations, I will tag one or 2 by the end of the yr and get you an accurate deer age

j/k

#1 & #2 = 3yr

#3 = 4yr

#4 = over 5 or 6yrs

#5 =2yr

2, 3(or great 2), 3-4, 2 and 2

I could be mistaken , but pic 1 , 2 and 3 are definitely the same buck .  Pic 4 might be a different buck , but the tines look identical in shape with the same lengths ,small twists and curves as the first 3 pics . Just the pic is closer and a different angle . Pic 5 is a guess . Too far away and you cant see both sides of the rack. Good looking 3 yr olds or 3 yr old and a 4 yr old

Buck 1 and 2 are same buck. Same time, just head down. I’ll say awesome 2.5 for him. Back hips look higher than front unless it’s the ground? So 2.5 or 3.5 at most.

Bucks 3 and 4 are 3.5 or older. Would just be guessing beyond that.

Buck 5, tough pic. But appears to be 2.5

All 5 are in fact different bucks. Buck 1 is a 8pt, buck 2 is a 9pt and 3 is a 10pt

They are different, just came through together. It's the first time I've gotten pictures of that 9pt but have multiple angles of the 8pt in pic 1

No I was using the Steuben county/IA standard.    Hence the lower age guesses.   They would all be 7 year olds here.
