Looks like twins!!
The clock on your camera must be off. Any idea what time they showed up?

the first two photos are the right time on them and the one with the two bucks in it is at 1am the other is at 6:07 am.I think the deer are from the same gene pool but the first two photos the buck has a third beam coming out on the left side with a droptine.

Is it a 3rd beam, or is it supposed to be a brow tine?

Can you set up between the bedding area and the apples?

the second is a 130's deer from what I can tell, but its hard to judge by pics...

the 1st is hard but looks like a 145ish? I cant tell cause I cant see what his brows really do. But I'd say he's in the 135 to upper 140's atleast as a ballpark guess

The best way to get a score is to SHOOT HIM.

Good bucks....

It is very difficult to score the bucks without making many assumptions, the biggest being the circumferences. By trying to judge scale based on the normal size of apples, I am pretty confident that neither buck will approach 150.

agreed, its hard to get any decent 8's over 150

im saying both are 130-145 max range if I guessed

like said uptop, shoot him and get him scored

alot more antler is needed to get into the 160s and up.. also normally 12 good pts to;)
