How old do you think he is? (the dark one) Pics are from about 160 yards which I cropped.

Need more pics and time of year, but I'd say 4.5

Middle-aged 3-4 yr old from those pics. What time of year was the pic taken, pre-rut? He really darkened up in the bottom pic if that is him under the feeder grin

Taken Dec. 7 so pre-rut down there. Only little dudes were chasing.

I would not argue 4 on that buck.

Neither would I. Just trying to argue it a bit higher. grin He is on the wall. Teeth showed zero wear so couldn't really tell that way. He was a case of mistaken identify. Bait and switch through the brush, target 8 pt enters brush from one sendero and out pops the 11 pt into the sendero next to it....

He does not have the neck to shoulders girth to be any older than 4 IMO. Post a pic of the jawbone. I would argue against 5 though all day long grin

I can agree with that.

Couple toads that made an appearance. What do you think?

5 to 6


6 to 7

Hard to tell on those pics. Top buck looks older than the bottom one.

I like 4.5 on the one you killed and 5-6 on the bottom two.

Dimmit. LF, no feed program.

Biggest question should be why is there a porker in the hog panels. grin
