I'm not sure where you're located, and deer ages are tough to judge if you aren't experienced locally. But, I would think that the smaller buck is 2 1/2 or 3 1/2, and the bigger one is at least two to four years older than the smaller one. Given that they're both in the same area, and presumably have access to the same nutrition, just look at the difference in body size and antler mass.

be a good photo for the qdma tv show guys to argue about. i thought he looked pretty old myself.

Thats a nice deer. But his belly hasnt really dropped and his shoulders/neck can fill more. Imo hes probably 3 1/2.

3.5 - 4.5 and old enough to make the opening morning dirt nap !

3 1/2 - 4 1/2 easy.

if you are to dumb not to know whether like the rack or not ,then don't hunt. throw that camera away and just hunt,its not hunting if you bait him to a camera and then go kill him over the bait.hunters these days want to know every deer by name before they hunt. just go hunt and see what shows up,you guys take all the fun out of the hunt. if it was up to me i'd outlaw all trail cameras and baiting,then you'd have to become a REAL hunter...

3 1/2 to 4 1/2 a nice mature buck to take out of the herd if the shot presentes its self..Good luck bro

age shmage if it looks good shootem

probably 4.5 to 5.5, its not an exact science but he looks mature to me for sure, ground him and check his teeth

obviously he has never singled out one deer and hunted him all year long, it takes a diciplined hunter to be selective and also helps us manage these bucks... look at the deer 10 yrs ago. untill Ar. started the 3-point rule 90% of your bucks were 1.5- 2.5 yrs old and dinks, no everyone has a chance to shoot a fully mature deer, doe or buck
