Default Mature buck...Can you tell this early? (pic)

Last night I got a trailcam pic of one of the 4 bucks that have been walking through my backyard. Two of the bucks are 1 year olds for sure, and when the other 2 bucks are next to them they look like 3 year olds. I've watched both of the 2 bigger bucks from 20 yards off the back deck the last couple weeks and they have progressed in weight and bone tremendously.

You can tell. This buck pictured is not the mature one you are looking for. You will know it whenthe right one shows upshows up.

+1, either 2 or 3 yrs old I'd guess, but he does look like he may have some potential. Don't get too wrapped around the axle yet, they've got 3 months of antler growing to do!!!! Like CORN, by Mid-July, you can start to make some assumptions!!!!
