A little help guys. We’ve got a lot of pics of various deer and this one seems to get my dad all excited. As I’m new to the trail camera game this is a learning curve.
Any ideas on how old this deer is and how well he scores. I’ve got some ideas, but I won’t offer them as I don’t want to sway the results.
Here is another young buck on the property. It’ll be interesting to see what he becomes in the next few years.
Id say 3.5 year old 9 ? point 125ish
2nd buck has great potential

I want to know how big the buck behind the tree in the 3rd picture is also!

3.5 is my guess also.
Some belly sag on him.. 
2.5 let him walk!
3.5 years old no question! like said 125 is a real close guess!
to much brisket for a 2.5 and his front quarters are to small for a 4 year old!
good luck!
I am no expert by any means, first buck I would say he is a 2.5 year old as he is not very wide, score would be around 125 to 130.
Second buck IMO 1.5 year old, 110 to 120.

I agree with Zimmy lets see a pic of the buck behind the tree.

He never showed himself. We’ll have to see. I’m headed back up there in 4 weeks. Hopefully the camera will be full of pics of these bucks and their big brothers.
Not to sound like a copy cat, but that’s exactly what I was thinking. Around 3.5 years old and around 120″.
Here is a whitetail I took up there in 2008. There are big deer up there, but I’ve never seen them. It seems to me a 140″ or 150″ is a unbelievable monster up there. 110″ is a nice animal. 120″ – 130″ is a very respectable animal up there. Lack of corn perhaps.
I would say the first set of photos is a 3.5 and the second photos are of a 2.5
Aging bucks certainly depends on the area of where the deer lives. If I saw that buck in Buffalo County, I would say he’s a 2.5 year old. Northern MN or WI, I would guess a 3.5 year old. I would agree with the guesses above – 120-125 gross.

Yeah Brad, I knew I should have put in that detail. That deer is from Buyck, MN (13 miles from Canadian Border)

I always wonder why the deer are so much bigger across the border in Canada than in Northern MN. Are the genetics that much different? Or the hunting pressure that much less? Seems like the terrain and food sources would be similar, and the winters even worse. Just wondering, I’ve never been.
The BIG bucks we see in Saskatchewan are well fed. They have winter wheat/soybean fields that go for miles… the deer have the feed bag on up there year round. I like to think of Sask as the Iowa of the North
