Three different bucks. Can’t see the first pic. In listed order 5,4, and 3 year old.
Aging guesses are best accomplished by HIDING the antlers and studying a broadside body shot.

Northern Arkansas so close to Midwest. Very few deer around here make it to 5. Thats what threw me off because the first one looks like a 4.5 yo to meI don't know where those deer live, but in the Midwest, I'd call them all 2 years old.
Three years at most.
It's really hard to judge from pics. The camera really skews perspective.Northern Arkansas so close to Midwest. Very few deer around here make it to 5. Thats what threw me off because the first one looks like a 4.5 yo to me
I agree, I will say from what Ive read I think 3 is the oldest. Bigger body, longer face, thick neck. Just looks more mature. He just wasnt blessed with size to match the development of his rack. I also think 2 is a young stud.It's really hard to judge from pics. The camera really skews perspective.
I bet he'd look a lot smaller/younger if those pics were at night.
In fact, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he's the same buck as #5.
