Question
how old are these two deer?

Mr. Gatton,

Thanks for posting these pictures!  The buck in the first picture is 3.5 years old, he has well developed shoulders, but you can see a clearly defined difference between his chest and neck, this will merge into one as he ages and continues to develop.

The buck in the second photo looks like his in the process of moving which makes it a slightly difficult to estimate. However, I do believe that buck is 3.5 years old as well.  His brisket looks well developed but again his neck is not as well developed. 

These bucks have great potential. Thanks for sharing!
