Default 2 bucks - give me your thoughts

I videoed these 2 bucks yesterday morning. I think they both need another year because the second one especially is how dreams are made. But I'm curious to see what everyone thinks the age of these bucks are.

First one could be a 1.5. If he is, look out, he'll be good one. I think the second is a 2.5. Both would get a pass by me.

Maybe I have some bigger expectations for 2 1/2 year old deer. It's funny, I watched these deer all summer and have pictures from June until now and the 2nd buck, seemed so small (in terms of body size) and now he looks like he's really filled out and I'm starting to lean towards the 2 1/2 mark.

I plan to let both of these bucks go, just not sure all the others around me will.

Thanks Siman08. That's taken out of my Office window. I work out of the house so it's tough some days.
