nice buck but he is only a 3 year old

he needs another 3 years and he will be a fantastic buck


give us some background....high fence/low fence, acreage you are hunting on, county, etc.


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I'd say he's 4 or older and is all over 140. Hill Country deer tend to keep that long lanky body

I would call that 5 yr old buck. I see 156-158 on the deer. Deer is to thick in the shoulders and brisket area to be any younger IMO. Great looking buck. Post up pics of jawbones.

I wouldn't call him three in a half this early in the season. He hasn't been out of velvet long.

I bet in another days when he swells up it will be an easy 5.5 call. If he is a protein hound maybe 4.5 but not 3.5 for sure

Doubt he is only 3.5. The belly and a brisket are definitely not typical of a 3.5 year old deer, especially in the hill country.

4.5-5.5 IMO.

150"ish (forgot about the splits when scoring)

Great deer.
