Top deer is probably a 4 yo from just those pics and bottom buck doesn't look the same to me.

Two different deer. Bottom buck is also missing a brow tine. Top buck looks mature.

2 different deer. Bottom deer has a broken brow tine. Both are young. 3-4 yrs. IMO
In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.

Both bucks are shooters if I had the opportunity at either of them, but neither are good enough to take to the taxidermist.

I think the top buck is 3-4 years. Ok to shoot, but would wait if you can
The other deer is a different buck in my opinion and is young and not a shooter

Both are rutted down 4 or 5 yr olds. Lot of staining on the hocks also.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Top buck is ripe for the picking, bottom buck will have a nice tall rack in a couple years

IMO top buck is mature and ready to shoot. Bottom buck needs to cook longer.

Top deer is nice. I wouldn't hesitate to shoot him.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

Obviously two different bucks....The bottom buck has a left hind inside toe that is 2.75 inches long, where as the top buck in the first two pics has a 2.875 long inside toe!!!... Your call brother and your money...don't ever shoot one and wish you would have waited and don't ever let one walk you would shoot the last day.
