2 1/2 year old??

[Arcade Hunter]

How old do you think he is?

Looks like 2.5    Broad side and might be easier to ID him and I'm still trying to get better at aging them.

Another look....

[ApexerER]

I would put an arrow through him and then figure out how old he was when I could get a real good look. Old enough for me to shoot for sure!

first pic, looks like he's 1.4 year old. Bottom pic looks like a different buck.

Wow... I did not notice that... they are two different bucks, two min apart on the cam.

Yup different. 1.5 on the top 2.5 on the bottom

2nd picture is hard to judge but I'd bet both pictures are of a buck that's 2.5 yrs old and both pictures aren't of the same deer.

I agree with dbHunterNY, that first one is hard to judge, but Id say 2 1/2. The second buck is really almost impossible to judge from that picture.

Yeah, same age class. Side-on shots can be deceptive. There is no way that first Buck is 1.5

Both are nice bucks! The deer in 2nd pic has a much longer G3 on the left side. I'd say 2 year old deer all day. But it's been proven here, that I suck at aging deer pic's! I'm much better when I see em live!

They both look like 2.5's.  As a pure meat-hunter, that is my favorite age to shoot them, when you get the best combination of quantity and quality venison.

The pictures are taken two minutes apart, I guess they can be different bucks ... in any event neither are loader then 3.5 from their looks

Bachelor group. Without a doubt different bucks  Like grampy said, look at the G3's

[Trial153]

Yea looks different if I pull it up in the gallery. Neither look older then 3.5 , not much in antlers or body.
