Your uncle is right. Body is filled out and square. Face looks less pointed as well. If you can force yourself to pass them this year, they be brutes in the next 2 years. Good genes for sure.

Yep, they need a couple more years for sure. I am just trying to learn how to age them just by looking at them so that I can make good decisions on stand. These guys are on my buddies land and I can't take a buck out there anyhow. Hopefully they will make it a couple more years for him.

The catch 22 in it is the risk. You might have the testicular fortitude to pass on these guys in faith they'll be bruisers next year, but the guy in the next field over might not...

You're looking for 55gal drums with fur and antlers, these were between 205lbs and 214lbs. All mature, but not giant racked. (2nd, 3rd pic same buck)

3 1/2 on the young bucks and okie those are some tanks thank for sharing always enjoy looking at mature bucks.

Also I Think Boone & Crockett should add 10 points for every year that a buck is over 4 1/2,like if he scores 150 and is a 6 1/2,You add 20 to 150 and that's gives you score of 170,
