Age these deer

[Dabills]

How old do you think these two guys are? I'm thinking 3.25. Next question what do you think the 8 would score? How about the 10? Would you shoot them? Thanks!

[moog5050]

My guess, both at least 3 yrs and yes, I would shoot.

[johnplav]

I woulda shot them both last season!

[Robhuntandfish]

wouldnt pass them in a NY minute! 

[grampy]

You are kidding right??  YES!!!  I would shoot them!

Dandy bucks. You are fortunate if you have bucks like that on your hunting property.

Three year olds, minimum.

[BizCT]

both shooters, zero doubt in most minds. That big 10pt cracks 140" for sure.

[Dabills]

I would have a hard time passing them for sure. I passed that 8 last year and it looks like it doubled it got so wide. The only reason I would pass is to see what they could become. But I'm pretty certain I won't lol. Thanks for scoring I'm not too good at that.

Shoot!!shoot!!

[rob-c]

Both are with out a doubt shootable, but man that wide 8 is cool., 

[Steuben Jerry]

Of course I'd shoot them - if I could stop shaking enough to hold steady for a second. Great deer!

[MPHunter]

Those are two awesome looking deer! No brainer to shoot!

8 will be in the high 130's might even brake 140!  Not sure about the other one as pics show he still has more to grow.  I would think the 10 would be in the mid 140's.  Both look like 3 year olds and both are shooters, good luck with them!  Get out early season to get a shot at them as they will change patterns.

Awesome thanks. I don't have the 10 figured out yet but I know where the 8 goes later in the season... I'm going to try to get the 10 the first week of October and if I do I might let the 8 go until next year and focus on does and keeping the pressure down so they have a place to grow. The pressure surrounding my property is out of control but I've made a pretty decent buck sanctuary. I'd really like to see what that 8 turns into that rack is gorgeous.

North Tonawanda Bucks?

[The_Real_TCIII]

Would I shoot them or will I shoot them? Yes to both

[Swamp_bucks]

Not good at the age thing.  But i would shoot them if i could get over the fact i was looking at deer that size.  Good luck that 8 is a stud.

it's really hard to age deer in velvet. their body characteristics we look for change a lot once testosterone gets flowing closer toward the rut. it looks like they'll be both all of 3.5 years old or more. things like the neck falling low on the chest still are a good sign theyre older, aside from the antlers not being small.

[G-Man]

I would guess both to be 3.5 the 8 will gross high 130s and net mid 130s , the 10 pt should land solid gross mid to high 140s and net mid to low 140
