Sure, why not

You had one wrong. Didn't guess their spreads either which is for fun.

I'll take a shot here:

Age: 2,3,1 --- Hard to tell, they all look mature, but for some reason #1 looks youngest to me.

Width: 2=3, 1 -- The asymmetry on #2 kinda throws me off, but he looks super wide on the left side and it just goes out forever, like double his ear width. I was stuck between 2 and 3 being the widest but since you said two were the same I picked 2 and 3 being the same.

Score: 2,3,1

Just saw you posted weights, I'm gonna go with 3,1,2 in order from heaviest to lightest.

Lot of guesses were close. Some were correct in one aspect but missed on the final.
Buck #1. Was the largest bodied buck at 256 lbs. He had 27.1" inside spread. He was either 5 or 6...thinking more 6 yr old. I had seen and photographed this buck for 3 yrs this year. So I had history of him. His score before broken droptine and NT points was around 215 gross. This buck grew a bunch when we found him after a tracking job in the brush.
Buck #2. Was the smallest bodied buck at 218 lbs. With Covid now I am not sure on exact spread but it was just under 27" inside. He was either 5 or 6 and more 5 to me. I had never seen him till this year but saw a couple of trail cam photos of him from last year and he looked 4 or 5 to me. He is the lowest scoring buck of the group at just under 213" gross. Smaller body size had me worried about width, beam length, mass etc. but he grew a bunch on the ground. I thought this buck was big score wise but I was still shocked at his width. His beam shape and length was hard to estimate.
Buck #3. Was the second largest body at 238 lbs. He was exactly 27.1" inside so the same as buck one. He was a 6 yr old for sure after seeing him the previous 2 seasons. 2 yrs ago he was a mid 230's buck with long beams and tons of mass from a shed I found this spring. Last yr his antler quality dropped of so much he was almost culled due to not recognizing him. He was wide and long beams just not many points. This year he came back on growth and was around 215" gross in photos. Broken a couple NT points when killed. This buck grew the most on me when we found him. I thought 190's max gross but his width and mass was hidden when he was standing there.
So the final is bucks 1 and 3 are the same width at 27.1" inside. Buck 2 is narrower by just a little IIRC....he may be 27" though. Score wise at harvest #2 was 213" but number one was closer to 220" before he was killed. The third buck was 214-216 gross before breaking up. All had beams over 27" to close to 29". All had mass over 39". For age they were all 5 yr old or 6. Pretty sure #3 was a 6 yr old.

#2 scores the Most At harvest but not in these pics
#3 Score 2nd most ( one right by default roflmao)
#1 is a cull that I will come get out of your gene pool free of charge(yeah right...pics are deceptive since was 256 lbs live weight.With a 27.1" inside spread and close to 220" before breaking a droptine and extra off he was the larger. Cull loco)

I cannot tell which is the oldest from these pictures. Honestly they all look to be within a year of one another here. cheers

I gave you this hint to correct the one you were wrong on...you missed your chance. Middle was the narrower of the 3 bucks. You had 1 and 3 correct just needed to add 27.1" spread. cheers
