What are y'all's thoughts on this bucks age? He didn't show up until late in the season and I'm needing input on possible potential. Thanks!

I am kind of thinking he's older with that low back end he has and the heavy horns i would say 4.5 but really need better pics.

He is at least a 4 yr old and could even be a rutted down 5 yr old. To much staining on his hocks and he has a lot of width in his brisket/front shoulders from the front. Can't tell if he is a true 7 or has a clean break on his right G3 also from these pics.

Im thinking 4.5 as mentioned before stained hocks, and nose is getting more rounded, and a slight swey (arch) in his back is starting to form.


If I put my wife in a high fence will her rack get bigger?

I would call him a 5 yr old in this pic.

4.5 at least. Needs to go in my opinion. I like the rack though, good mass and descent width. Would make a great Euro mount!

Old enough and small enough that he needs to go ASAP this fall before he gets a chance at the ladies.

4.5, I don't see enough loose skin around face and neck to be any older.

I was gonna say 3.5-5.5 leaning toward the younger from them the fist pics, but the pick in November is saying he is older. 5.5 is highly likely.

5.5 the hocks the nose the heavy antlers the grey on his face and neck. those are all more indicative of 5.5 year old deer in the area i hunt.

4.5 My luck I would put him on a hitlist and never see him.


If ducks had horns I'd probably be a duck hunter.
I am a horrible deer hunter. Probably the worst. Ever.
