Summer Pics - Age Practice

[wjohnson1983]

So I've followed along on here a lot about aging deer. I know summer time pictures are best guess, but I'd like the practice anyways.

Far right: 3.5?

3.5?

4.5 +?

I absolutely hate trying to judge deer this time of year, but I'll bite.

I'd say potentially 4.5 on the first one, 3.5 on the second one and 5.5+ on the third.

I'd like to see them again late October

at this point, I'd go 3.5, 4.5, and 4.5

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not very good at aging on the hoof yet, and tend to underage and not pull the trigger. I think I let an old ghost walk last year even though he had a small rack.

The middle deer was on camera last year. I'll see if I can dig up old pictures. The other two are new.

Well the 9 in the bottom set of pictures never showed up again.

The best I can tell this deer is the same as the first one above.

The deer that has the weird rack on his right side is on the left in those two above pictures.

Another new deer. Pretty unique.

Bonus of what's in the bobcat's mouth

My guesses.

First three: 3.5, 3.5, 5.5+
New guy: 3.5
New unique buck: 2.5
Rabbit in bobcat mouth.
