Can anyone give me some ideas on what they think for age on this deer, this is a hill country deer so the bodys dont get real big, I just got the property in Feb. so I dont have much background on him. I dont think I saved any of the daylight pics of him unfortunately.

3.5 years old this coming fall, nice deer

Would say 3 1/2 maybe 4 1/2 depending on qualities of other deer around its hard to say with hill country deer. Do you feed protein?

yes feeding protein, dont think anyone has there before hes coming to it everyday......the guy i bought the property from told me there was a nice 6 year old buck that made it through last season, im thimking this is the deer he was talking about but my guess was hes 4 but im no aging expert.

Could be the deer he was speaking of, but you know the bs comin out some folks mouths these days. Also alot of people dont know how to age deer and/or dont know how to tell one from another. Either way keep feeding protein maybe a food plot or two and it looks like your on the right track


Im no expert either but have watched deer alot of my life

I would call him a 3 yr old from those pics. Could possibly be a yr old though judging by the width in his brisket/shoulder area for this time of the year. Bucks are not as fat now as they will be in late August also. He will show his age much better then.

Looks like a nice 3-4 year old.

X2 ^^^

He'll look more like 4 in Nov. my guess is he's a healthy 3.5

Kill that coon please

Deer looks 4 to me but still early

X2 looks like 3 to me

My guess is a 2 year old. He does not have the bulk or beginnings of a "Roman Nose" seen on older bucks.

The roman nose is cause by the nose breaking and healing. Some deer will never have one and some will have it early. We had a buck that we shot at 4.5 YO he had a roman nose from 2.5 on.

3 yr old

I think it's older than most people here think. I wouldnt be surprised if he turns out to be 5

Ok. We've narrowed it down to somewhere between 2 to 5...

That deer is 4.5-5.5.

I'd shoot the coon hanging off the feeder. LOL


Who cares what anyone else thinks on your property?

Exact Aging deer in early velvet is a disaster waiting to happen unless you have lots of historical data on that deer already.

I would put him at to well above 3

3.5-4.5 for me also

Four was my first impression.

I agree!

Ive been smoking the coons with .308 winchester silver ballistic tips but that was getting a little pricey since everytime i shot 1 its like a hydra 2 more appear so I now put a EO tech on my .223 to get some more use out of it.

Heres what he looks like as of July 10, this is in the Campwood, Montell area
