Sea to Sky Bucks

[Merch]

Found these two just outside of the "BT" zone in the Sea to Sky area. Both look fairly young to me, whats your thoughts? Any idea on age?

[Merch]

British Columbia — Starting at the Washington-British Columbia border, blacktail deer range runs west of the height of land between the Skagit and the Chilliwack Ranges, intersecting the Fraser River opposite the mouth of Ruby Creek, then west to and up Harrison Lake to and up Tipella Creek to the height of land in Garibaldi Park and northwesterly along this divide past Alta Lake, Mt. Dalgleish and Mt. Waddington, thence north to Bella Coola. From Bella Coola, the boundary continues north to the head of Dean Channel, Gardner Canal and Douglas Channel to the town of Anyox, then due west to the Alaska-British Columbia border, which is then followed south to open water. This boundary excludes the area west of the Klesilkwa River and the west side of the Lillooet River.

How old will a buck be when they reach their max potential? 5 years or so?

Just wondering what everyone uses to estimate the age of deer? Are there specific things to look for, or is it just a "feeling" kind of thing?

Thanks
