This is the one that perplexes me. I believe he is only a 3 year old based off of one trail camera picture from last year that I believe is him. The size of his body in this picture makes me think he could be a four year old. Thoughts?

the 6x7 looks like a 3 year old to me and the other buck is at least 4, maybe older.
That 6x7 looks like the type of deer that could be a giant in a couple years. There aren't many people who would legitimately pass up a 130"+ buck though, so he is probably in trouble if he walks by too many hunters.
Looks young. No one knows if a buck is a grower til he proves he's a grower. Most likely that one will put some inches on next year, but I've seen plenty that disappoint and grow very little. If it was me, I'd share pics with neighbors and try to convince as many as possible to let him go. If you're lucky you'll get half to agree, and then one of them will probably pop him regardless.
This is a picture I took yesterday while I was on the property pulling a trail camera.
My radish ptt plot has a distinct deer trail following the edge between the two plantings. (Radishes PTT & Winter Barley Winter Peas) in a N S direction.
I didn’t spend much time in the area because it is hunting season. This radish was about the only browsing I noticed in that section of the plot. The tops haven’t even been hit.
I did notice some browsing on the winter barley has been happening. From what I can tell little if any of the peas are being eaten.
The plot is weedy but is being hammered. The beans for the most part have been completely consumed, the sugar beets are being hit hard right now, and there was a ptt here and there will a little browsing taking place.
There are trails beaten down to dirt through the plot with lots of droppings scattered about. This plot will last through the muzzleloader season but not sure how much beyond. The plot is weedy so tonnage did suffer a bit.
If doing this mix again I would add more beans. The weeds were only an issue this year because if a sprayer issue.
