Appears as a midlle aged protein fed buck. I would put him at 4-5 but he could be a really healthy 3 yo as well, although likely not. Unless you are looking at better prospects this year....

Cant make my mind up on how old I would GUESS he is. Nothing screams old, but he looks middle aged to mature to me. Lot of neck for this time of year seems to make a straight line down to his brisket. Kinda looks like he sits down on his front hooves a little, but again nothing screams old to me.
What are your thoughts?

What are your thoughts? Agreed. Not much sway in the back but he has a paunch. Does not stand out as old to me either.

I'd call him 5 or 6. Outstanding whitetail.

It's hard for me to say, but I'm thinking around 5 yrs old. These protein fed deer make it more difficult.

4-5 y/o, nice looking buck! (correct me if I'm wrong, but this time of year they wouldn't have the .5 or 1/2 year adder since they would be born in late spring or early summer, the .5 would be out into hunting season, right?)

Looks like a mature management buck to me. Don't want those junky antlers in the herd. 
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

All the characteristics of a fully mature buck is what I see.

Do you use the half when someone ask you your age? not any longer ... same age up until my next birthday, why rush it but seriously, this time of year, wouldn't it be 4 or 5 year old, not 4.5 or 5.5 year old? ... to get really technical, now would be more like 4.16666 to 4.25 when going decimal ...
