I believe these two pics are the same deer, If anyone feels differently let me know. Also I guessed the deers age at 2.5 years what do you think. These pics were taken in Central IL.

Hard to see the second pic, but I would say the first one is 2...2 1/2. Not bad though

I'd say he is a either a real good 2 1/2 or 3 1/2. Looks to have some nice bases, that makes me lean toward 3 1/2.

The first one is just a nice IL 2 1/2 year old.I would let him walk and wait on that 3 1/2 140+ IL Buck.Just my 2 cents.

Naw I dont think they are the same deer. I believe the first one is 2.5 years old and the other is a 3.5 year old.

They look different in body size, cant tell about the antlers in the night time pic. Id say the daytime pic is a 2 1/2 or possibly3 1/2. The dark pic looks to be a 2 1/2
