I had this buck at 3 years old. But, then I posted some pics on another site and I'm getting age estimates from 2 - 6. I trust this board more than the other one. How old do y'all think? Buck is in Medina County a few miles north of Hondo.

I agree. His chest is the giveaway for me that he's fully mature.

I think I'd sit in the Alan Stand this fall.

Glad everyone seems to be on the same page. This time of year, a whole bunch of mature bucks get called 3-yr-olds because they've still got thin necks and haven't fully muscled up.

As soon as I saw that guy's brisket and shoulder setup, he struck me as at least 5.

Not post-mature, but definitely mature. If you have doubts, just try to get a good look at him once he's swollen up for the rut. Otherwise, SOS.

I'd say he's 5+

Mature. Could be 5, could be 6. I lean towards 5 but very hard to tell age this early and from those photos.
