Age and Score?

[RidgeRunner13]

I've never had a lot of experience with judging deer age, but I think the six in these photos my be older than the ten. What do ya'll think? I am curious as to what the score of the ten might be also.


And now the 6...

 

[JCDEERMAN]

To me, the 6 does look older than the 10. The 10 looks 3.5+ and probably around 115" and the 6 looks a significant amount older. Hard to tell without seeing the lengths of the legs this time of year

 

[RidgeRunner13]

Yea, I thought the 6 was older. I'm no expert by any means on judging deer. I hunt more for meat than anything, but I would like to begin decorating the house a bit.

I don't know if he will make it another year. I'm hunting with a buddy who hasn't killed a deer yet, and I haven't had the change to hold some decent antlers since 2005. I've got the itch, and I know for a fact that he does.

The six is a fat yearling. The 10 is probably a 3 year old that puts more of his energy into growing antlers than getting fat.

That six is a 2.5 and the 10 is a 3.5. He'll go better than 115". Im saying around 125" and possibly may hit 130 by an inch or 2

The six looks to be 2.5 and the 10 looks 3.5 and maybe 120-125 on the score.

10pt 3.5 117-120, 6pt 2.5 with bad genes

 

[deerhunter10]

10pt 3.5 115-120 6pt 1.5 maybe 2.5

The 10 would be 120 - 125. He looks 3.5
