    Almost shooters, For an Illinois deer I would say they need atleast 1 more year, very nice racks though

    Shooters? If I'd had a chance shooting one of these guys. My only worries would be if I had enough ammo.

    They do look nice, but I dare say when that velvet comes off, you'll see they could use another year or two. They look young to me. Great potential!

    I think they'll be a lot better with another year of growth, but it just depends on what else you have in your area. However, I imagine you have a lot better.

    Nice bucks. Whether or not they are shooters really would depend on what else you know is around and what the area is capable of producing. Around here they would without a doubt be shooters.

    Middle picture may be a shooter, but like Chris said, velvet can be deciving.
    Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

    I have to agree with Chris too. Probably need another year in your neck of the woods.
