2.5"s get tricky around here for me. I"d say they can range anywhere from 80" to 115". A small 2.5 may even be tough to tell apart from a BIG 1.5er.

I agree, Rybo. The first buck I ever shot.....I'm still not "sure" of. I didn't have him jawbone aged....and I only went on his appearance and size. I don't have a trailcam photo of him....but I do have another picture of him. I'll try to find one that shows his body size.....and I'll leave it up to the gallery. I'll also post up another 2.5 I have photos of.

OK.....another more "typical" 2.5 yr old in my area.

For where you hunt, Aaron.....I'm not sure that last one isn't older.
