I'm by no means a WT expert, only having messed with them for the last 5 years (beginning when I started school at UI), but I did pick up a number of sheds over there.  Judging by the 'tiers' of the sizes of sheds I picked up, I'd guess the first one is 2.5 and the second 1.5, like most of the others that have posted.

You're right about that one having a heck of a body! Likely the corn, or hay like you say. Never seen a mountain whitetail that small with a body that big!

silence = consent...     so this guy id really like some outside opinions on his age. so ill just post him without my guess.  the reason this one is tough for me to make a call on is his body size and shape makes him look younger than his antlers do.  hopefully i get pics of him next year to compare.  so what would you guys say of this one?

I'd guess 4.5 with good feed, which it sounds like he has being on private land.  Otherwise 5.5 if he's a timber/mountain buck.  :twocents:
