A buddy & I are debating how old this buck is. We are trying to find some past pictures to help. Any guesses? ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2023/10/full-55403-402432-old8pt.jpg)

Just from that one he is stretched out a little so back line is sagging some but i think 5+. hard to tell from one nighttime pic.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Older than 5.
Summer time pics are hard to judge
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

That is a strange looking buck. Unnatural looking. Almost looks photoshopped. Not thinking it is but it’s just that strange. What part of the world is that and what time of year? Is that velvet or just that much mass? Is he heavily protein fed?
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

With that depth of chest figure there has to be some level of maturity, but could be more of a middle aged well fed feeder hound too.

Is that velvet or just that much mass? Is he heavily protein fed? I assure you, it's a real picture taken 2 days ago. He is being protein fed now. I think his horns are fresh scraped of velvet. He tends to be a ghost & camera shy. Always nocturnal. We've found some 2 year old (2021) photo's we think is him but not sure. 8 pt with small brow tines. More & more I'm thinking he is a very old buck (+5) in decline.

at least 4.5, but agree with others leaning towards 5+
