I got this on the deercam last bow season and got to see these bucks a few times during the season as well. I passed them up so they could grow a little more you guys think they will be better this year? This is in Al.

Should be, they look to be 2 1/2 or less now. Let them go so they may grow.

Yea both bucks look fairly young, i would look for them to add 10-20 inches on antler.

I would say those are both 2 1/2 year olds, depending on the nutrition in your area they could gain a fair amount of antler size. If you really want to see their potential though, let them get to 4 1/2 years old, they have almost 90% of their antlers by this age. Good luck

Those are nice looking animals and I'm sure they are tempting but I think you made the right choice. I hope you're blessed with a close encounter this fall so you can reape the rewards of your good deeds.

Me too! I have been doing QDM for 5 years now and the size of the deer, antler growth, and the # of fawns being born is growing more and more each year.

The one in the back should be real nice ! Good job .
