The first three pics are obviously of the same buck. Looks about 3, maybe 4 years old, a solid shooter. Could be as old as 5, but I don't think so.

I would place the 4th pic at 2-3. Def. thickening up, should be a nice animal in the next couple of years.

That wildgame takes some pretty decent shots!

Well, the first deer in the third pic is showing a long white muzzle, the forehead is starting to flatten, and the belly is starting to sag.
I'm thinking 4 1/2, possibly 5 1/2.
Other deer is probably a 3 1/2 yr old.

I was leaning towards 3 1/2 possibly a year older on your first buck. The second one looks to me about the same...not sure if you have any more pictures of him that would help. Your other guy is probably 1 1/2.

Hmmm, I would have guessed 3.5 for the first one in first 3 pics, 2.5 for the 4th pic, and 1.5 for the forkhorn.

I think that all game cam pics should be stamped with lat & long! :evil:

I would agree with this. The first buck just isn't carrying enough mass (compair bases with diameter of the base of the ears). The brow tines are a bit short. He's got a solid body but his neck is just too thin,his nose looks too long and his belly is just starting to sag, (its often exagerated when they have their heads up). If this is managed land I would wait another year. If he crossed my path where I hunt, I would put an arrow in him.
