I agree. Looks to be 2.5 or possibly 3.5 with great potential. If you bump heads with him does he get a pass or will you drop him?

Not a lot to go by, but I do believe the one in the top pic (split brow) is likely 3 1/2.
To me, he seems too "developed" for summertime to be only a 2 1/2 (talking about his body, not his antlers).
During the summer months,
most of us seem to have a tendency to under-age bucks,
although I agree with Mike this is possibly only a 2 1/2-yr-old buck.

Split brow 10 I'm going to age at 3.5. I think he looks younger than he is.
Good question Mike

If he steps out it will be very hard not to,but we are trying to shoot a 150+. Last yr was 148. I think the other 10 of will be close to 150 but not 100% sure. The last 2 are just 2 big 8pts and will also be hard not to shoot.

Based on those pics, the first buck is only 2.5; the others are mature (4.5 or older). Give the 1st one a pass, he's in the top 1% of all bucks genetically and just needs a couple more years to be the deer of a lifetime if he makes it. My best 2.5 y/o was a tad bigger than that one... He ended up scoring 135" as a mainframe 11 and had a split G2 and droptine. We passed him up several times, but I found him dead next to the property line the following turkey season 
I think 2.5 to 3.5 but since he is a little narrow giving him one more year will really improve some of his characteristics including length and mass particularly. In Wayne county bucks with this narrow characteristic don't widen very much but the mass can by incredible as in these photos. The first buck has 11" g2's. The last has 10+ g2's and close on the g3's.

3.5 would be my guess. To much body development for a 2.5 IMO.... Good luck!
