Looks to be pretty fat for this time of year and I can see a decent sized brisket in the last photo, so I'm going to go with 4.5 to 5.5. But aging deer this time is year is hard for me, so I'd take all that with a grain of salt. Hopefully some of the more expert guys will weigh in for you. Good luck, he's a nice looking deer.

Not enough for me to guess from. Be careful about shooting deer thinking they are mature just because they are fat. Shot a big 9pt two years ago and we were happy till he was on the ground and we looked at his teeth. He was 3.5 Yo

I'd look at the belly and neck
belly says 4.5, but the neck says 3.5..... I'd go with a fat 3.5 yr old
looking at teeth wear is a more precise method

with that in mind, I'm leaning more towards 3.5, which means he could be a really nice buck in a couple of years.
