The 8-point looks like a 2.5 with loads of potential. The 10-point is probably a 3.5 with potential as well. If they make you happy, shoot 'em!!!

well my buddy done claimed the 10pt soon as he seen it so i got that 8pt to choose from or 9pt of the same size prolly a 4.5 yr old at my other land has a big tumor in his belly, but if that 10 walks in front of me before him i might accidentally release an arrow towards it haha hed prolly be mad considering he got me permission to this land which is only about 1.5 acres just outside of a town actually might be in city limits still im not sure

i hope i had them right, i believe the first 2 pics are the new 8pt, the rest are the 9pt, if i miscounted points please let me know the angles suck but its the only place we could mount the trail cam.

thanks im planning on it. hes my target buck for sure this year my buddy said if i pass on it hes gonna shoot it and the 9pt, i think it has a great rack for bein an 8pt and at what 2.5-3.5 yrs old maybe 4.5 i thinkim guessin that by rack size and body neck still kinda throws me. only downside is we dont have anytime daytime pics at all and these are backyard bucks, the landowners are an older couple with no young kids so not sure as to why there still nocturnal

Any does in the area with consistency? Might be your best bet is to wait for a hot doe and watch them pull those bucks in during the daylight if it is as residential as you make it sound. Darn nice deer though! Hope you put one on the wall!

yea there is a doe that is there constantly on the pole cause we have that apple buck jam she tried to eat that pole, but yea would make a real nice wall hanger and first bow buck, im kinda curious as to what he would score if i had to guess id start low and say 120-130 roughly, other then that one doe thats always on the pole the owner said hes counted around 5 or 6 does all together 3 nice big ones and a couple smaller ones
