I think this deer is at least three and a half, but I am hoping he is younger. What do yall think? I saw him every time I bow hunted this weekend and he is the biggest buck that we have on camera. Hoping the rut will bring some of the bigger older deer in from other places on the lease.

Hard to tell from that one pic the way he is standing. He is no older than 3.5
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

I would call him 3.5. Too much neck and rear. Hard stance to judge by though

on our place he would be a cull. even if he is 2.5, he would be lesser than the other deer in his age range.
i would put him at 3.5 or older.
Stuff my dad said in the deer blind
"I can dive deeper and come up drier" "did you do that?"

here is another picture, he is definitely the biggest deer coming to our feeders and he has a deer who I think is his twin with an almost identical shaped and sized rack but a 4 point that is a little smaller. I am just trying to see if I am starting to get in the ballpark on aging, kind of takes the challenge out of it when none of our deer are to old though. I wish this was a cull, but this is still pretty below average for our place

Oh yeah, I think he's 3.5.That is the deer I want to take this year(obviously not the same deer but one similar)or something bigger than I've killed in the past.He looks really healthy.I'd take him.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it. Don't text and drive.

he looks 3 to me, based on the 2nd photo. That first photo is one of the worst positions to use for aging.

In the last months almost all of our deer have gotten a lot thinner with their ribs showing a lot more, need to take some out quick

blockier body, probably is 3.5. Crappy rack for that age. Take him.
