WAG on both! Guessing the 2nd buck is older and on the decline, but could be simply poor genetics.

Both have rectangular bodies but #1 has sagging belly which to me that his chest is bigger than you think, #2 rectangular body but still a little more athletic so to speak and younger face

No. 1 looks young, neck small, horns narrow, hips same size as shoulders, face not mature, etc.
No. 2 looks mature, could be 5.5, but looks in his prime . Large shoulders, neck blends to brisket.

Buck 1 has a sagging belly, which make me believe he is older than 5.5 years old. Buck 2 has a "long" slender body which leads me to guess 4.5.

Buck #1 Neck and stomach are the reason for my guess.
Buck #2 Pretty much the same as the first guess.

Both bucks have kickers, typically starting around age 4. The first deer is a brute of a body and still in his prime. Either 5.5 or 6.5. the 2nd buck is either 3.5 or over the hill.

Buck 1 has good mass on neck/chest/antlers, droopy brisket.
Buck 2 descent mass on neck, and chest looks fit close to prime.

Buck 1 appears fully mature but no signs of being past his prime yet. Buck 2 appears mature but not quite as thick and stocky yet as a buck in his prime.

The body, lower hanging gut, antler mass and low hanging brisket on buck #1 makes me believe that he is 6.5. Good antler mass, but body size and brisket not as low hanging on buck #2.

the first buck looks to be in his prime ,perhaps towards the end of prime, the second looks to be approaching prime, a year or 2 off.

We do not see too many big mid-western sized whitetails in central N.Y. I basically looked at their antler growth (mass) , head, paunch and hide quarters. Buck # 2 didn't seem that old to me...
Cameron Arthur

Buck 1 is a very big deer. Heavy mass. Carries his mass out also.
Buck 2 has decent mass at his base but doesn't carry it out and also has short tines.
Rocky Senatore

Neither buck looks "beyond Prime" so I figure they are under 7 years. but both are mature. #1 looks younger, less boxy body shape, #2 has a longer, wider head.

1. Relative short face, roman nose. Belly sags a little. Squat body.
2. Narrower hind quarter than at shoulders. Struts like an older deer but knows hes still not boss in the area.

Buck 1: Antler mass 6.5+. Head development, blocky body, short legs point to fully mature at least 6.5. Buck #2 Good bases & beam length shows me 5.5 along with square body

Deer 1 has the body symmetry, face, and movements of a 3.5-albeit well-nourished. Deer 2 has the narrowing withers and hint of gray that I'd say is a year older.

Buck 1 has a bit of "sag" in his belly, which I think puts him at 5.5; otherwise looks vigorous.
Buck 2 still has a fully horizontal belly line and appears less filled out overall.

The first buck as compared to the second one had a more rounded noise and I believe was more swollen therefore appearing to be older than he really is. The second buck seemed thinner so I went younger

I believe that buck 1 is at least 5.5, probably older, given the way his neck meets his shoulders and the sage in his belly. Buck 2 does not appear to have any sag, but instead, is flat along belly

Bob Daniels

Buck #1 had the mass that takes time, but his body weight, lack of grey facial hair, and daylight appearance with does keeps me from aging him any higher. Buck #2 was more slender with less mass.

Buck#1 did not posses the body structure of an older deer to me. he seemed leaner and thinner in the neck area. Buck#2 possessed a thicker body and neck with a deeper brisket and roman nose

Buck 1 looked to be between 4.5 to 6.5 so I split the difference. Decision was based more on body appearance. Buck 2 may be older, and most likely would be in another state. Again, body structure.

Buck 1 - sometimes non-typical genes can make a buck look older than he is, I'm saying he's 5 due to the size of his bases
Buck 2 - 4.5, just a hunch, but he could be 7 :)

Still fairly straight across the back, not as pot bellied as an older buck tends to get. Moves easily, older bucks tend to be somewhat arthritic or hobbled up from injuries.
Daniel J Sarbacker

buck #2 short tine length would say young deer but he has great bases, body and face don't say old deer in decline, buck #1 freak, for that size you'd say very old deer but body and face don't, Kanas!

Buck 1 is an old buck you can see it in his face, stomach and how he walks. Buck 2 is 3.5 because you can tell he is still young and has potential but he hasn't put on the mass yet.

Buck number 1 has a more blocky body. He doesn't look like he is getting sway backed but more straight across the belly and back. Buck number 2 still looks like he is slimmer in the belly/hip area.

It's hard not to look at the antlers of deer #1 but with that mass and amount of stickers, i have to guess him to be 5.5 or older. Buck #2 has a decent belly to him along with a short nose.

They are KS corn fed deer. Body size and facial hair gave me my clues.

Rationale on Buck 1: Mass, Trash, and a Huge Ass = Old
Rationale on Buck 2: Poor score but tall beams. Stout shoulders but streamlined body. Mature but not old.

Neither buck had that drooped big belly older bucks seem to get, both had sizeable necks but the rut had to do with that. Mature enough deer, they do not appear to be older though...

Guessing Pat is trying to trick us with bucks of the same age so I just chose a middle of the road age although my gut says 5.5 on one of them.

Buck #1 looks past his prime. Grayer face & slight dip behind the shoulder blades.
Buck #2 hind quarters looked much narrower than the front quarters. I don't think he is fully mature yet.

The first buck I really don't think his body says 5.5 but the non typical rack kind of gets me. I wanted to say 3.5 for him. The second buck look like he should for a 4.5 year old. Tough going by pic

Buck #1 appears to a more mature deer with saggy belly and more blocky appearance. Buck #2 not so much - more straight/sleek lines yet heavy shoulders.

Buck 1 - nice rack, body not as filled out as buck #2.
Buck 2 - blocky body.

First buck body mass and structure seem to show he is older and the second buck doesn't seem to be as filled out as much.

Deer one looks like a tank, big belly, heavy briskey, loose skin around face.
Deer 2 also looks like a mature deer but not as old as deer 1. Was torn between 4.5 or 5.5 and went with 5.5.

Buck one has all the signs of an older deer. Big belly, sway back and block head. Buck 2 is mature but appears to be a couple years younger. Not as "beefy" and seems to be more athletic.

WAG... Judging from body alone, both being Kansas deer... Deer one looks a little thicker, more brisket, etc.

Buck 1- Sagging belly and thick brisket. Very large massive antlers.
Buck 2- Solid mature body but not any signs of sagging belly or brisket.

Both Mature and once around 5.5 no one knows for sure. That's why people say he is 5.5 or older.

Looked mainly at body shape, more belly being older buck, and the first being a non-typical generally older bucks get non-typical points. I could be way off. A little greying on the muzzle on that one

I based my guesses on deer I've seen in my native Mass. In KS, those could be 2.5 Year Olds ;) ha! It was the heaviness of the body's that lead me to go with my guesses...

Buck #1 is certainly a mature deer, didn't get a good look at his chest and is yet to have the classic roman nose.
Buck #2 has a deep chest but still lacks the roman nose..neither deer are very gray

Buck one look "fuller" while buck two still had a young look to him, no sway back or potbelly

They're both mature. Buck #2 is older than buck #1. One guess is as good as the next

Buck #1 4.5. Body condition, no real graying in the face
Buck#2 5.5 Body showing a little more sag, wear and tear.

first buck does not look old body size is not that big. second buck has huge body size and looks older.. Could be genetics but it takes awhile to fill out like that..

Buck #1's body screams 7.5 years old to me but I see 5.5 in his face, so I split the difference
Buck #2 seems to be 4.5. Belly and back level like a race horse. Still a touch of youth in his face
Jaco Grimsrud

I basically looked at the size of the base of the antlers and the body shape. The first buck I would say is definitely over 6.5 but it's really hard to tell the difference between 6.5 and 8.5.
