I've also got a couple of outstanding 2 1/2 yo bucks on my own property that I really hope can put on another year of two and really show their potential!
I've let this guy walk a couple of times, he's not wide at all ( about 15") but has an excellent frame
What makes you believe he is only 2.5? Not arguing, still learning how to judge. Based on what I've learned, I'd lean toward 3.5 with this buck. I'm starting to see the belly parallel with the chest and his neck/shoulders make me think 3.5.
Your second buck still has the skinny neck/shoulders and the belly is up from the chest.
Again, not arguing just trying to understand.
