I took this video of a buck we call "u-turn" using my phone through the binos. I'm pretty sure we have a good age on him and just wanting to see what others opinions were.

video will not run on photobucket

Well crap. OK thank you.

Maybe this will work.

I'm not great at estimating age but I'd say 3.5 - 4.5. No sway in the back, not a huge neck, nose isn't flat, but man he's got some hardware up top. Looks like he has a great rack just needs to add more mass...not real thick yet.

I agree - 3-4 - not mature yet

I would call him 4

I agree with the others on middle aged 3-4.

Would have been nice to have that other buck in the pic more to compare them.

Looks like an extremely healthy 3.5yo to me. He's nearly got the body of a 4.5yo, but that skull is still pretty narrow, no wedge to it at all like I'd expect to start seeing at 4.5.

Im thinking 4.5 as well. One of our guys thought he was at least 5 but I didn't see it. He went from an 8 to a ten this year. He's definately a protein hog so it makes him look older.

This is last yrs pic. He broke off his G3 on this pic.



Here's an early season velvet pic of him.

I would say 4

I would love to get an up close and personal look at him

4.5
