Default Couple decent bucks on trail camera

Had a trail camera about 2 years ago, but that one was stolen. Got a different one and had it up for a little under a week before i checked it. I have 2 different bucks that i consider "shootable"around this area. My question is, "which one is older? The 11 pt or the 8?" Not that this is going to effect my decision, I'm going to try to take whatever one i see first because it would be my first buck with a bow.

Both very nice bucks. Surprisingly enough, I think the 8 point is older. 4 1/2 to 5 1/2. the other buck, 2 1/2 to 3 1/2......

Looks like the 8 is one year older to me, deeper chest, fuller face. Both very good bucks for your area though. And yes, he's arguing with some raccoons.

both very nice bucks, but i would agree that the 8 is older, 3.5-4.5 and the 11 is probably 3.5 IMO
