I'm not too good at it but here are my thoughts. PLEASE let me know what you think. right - yearling? Left - 2 1/2 Middle 3-4 that might need culling? Or Does he just look bigger/older because he's close to the camera? The bigger buck I really don't know. But he doesn't look very mature to my untrained eye.

thanks

All look young to me. I wouldn't shoot any of them yet. They aren't legal in my county anyway. Young guys have to eat too. Anything bigger coming in?

Thank you. I wasn't too far off. This place is new to us in collingsworth Co., and I'm new to cameras, pics and aging etc.. Encouraging that the deer in the bottom pics is young. He should have good potential. Yes there are others coming. Lot of activity at night, and i think there are about 6 diff bucks. Don't have a clear pic yet of anything that I would call mature. At this feeder. Heres a buck at a diff feeder. age??

Thanks all your input.

First deer is either 4 or 5. Is that him inside the pen, too? Because he looks 5 or older in those two photos.

I'm pretty sure the second set of pics is all the same deer. Glad to hear your comments. My amateur guess was 5 based on others pics and comments posted here. Hopefully other mature deer in the area. Certainly no shortage of young bucks.

Thanks everyone for your help.

1 to 3 yr olds in the first group of pics. I would say 4 to maybe 5(with more pics) on the second bucks based off of those pics.
