Well a few got it right: 4.5,3.5 then 2.5. I find it interesting that in a related thread about what makes you shoot bucks that only 4 of the 13 that said maturity is the only way they shoot, dared to even guess. After only 3 responses on this thread getting it correct, I'm gonna conclude that it is just a guessing game. Had these pics not been in rut and necks not swollen, I feel confident that they all would have been aged at 2.5 by most. What I'm getting at, if you want to shoot, let it rip and don't let anyone try to tell you that you should have let him grow another year because there are deer in every thicket in the south and the chances of shooting a Midwest sized rack are slim to none!
