You know your deer better than I do, nice ones for sure and I did not mean to offend. Guessing age from few pics is not so easy. I agree they lack mass. But they should get there if food water and cover is around and if your neighbors are not hunters or shooters of anything that walks. We also work on habitat for deer at our place and we are lucky to have a 9,000 acre National wildlife Refuge across the road from us, where the deer have been managed by the TP&Wildlife since 1943. In 1943 and again in 1961 the TP&W brought the deer in from Northern states, Wisconsin and Michigan and another I can't remember which other state right now, anyway they brought in these deer and managed the herd up to 2008. it's a very interesting story and is available for reading on the web. Like I said we are lucky. Our property is too small to control genetics, but we reap the benefits of the state biologists for the past 70+ years.
