That's a dificult pic for me to age by. Can't really tell neck or belly size, but he looks leggy, has a bit of a paunch, and I don't think his neck is as skinny as it looks in the pic. I'd say 3.5 years.
edited to add: So used to adding the .5 to a deer's age....he'd probaby by 3 years and a couple months if that's a recent pic.

It is a recent picture, I had one of the animals rub up against the camera hard enough it opened the thing up and batteries were out of it and everything... I put it back on and hope to get more pictures in a few weeks I only had it out that one night and didnt get many pictures.

It looks to me like a three year old judging by the curve of the muzzle (nose) and by the the way he stands on his hooves. the older deer get, the more their ankle joint tends to kind of angle out more.
No one had a gun in our hands and we just watched it go. One guy threw his beer can at it.. just in really good shape and also hopefully flip the switch a little faster on my wife.

Hard to tell but looks to be a 3 yr. old. A little thin but his rack is promising.

I would guess middle aged, but better pics would be nice.
If I found the camera opened and batteries on the ground I would suspect fowl play.

Not a great pic to age from but appears to be middle-aged. Nice buck.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?
