Great unique looking deer.
Really tuff picture to age from. I cant see anything that particularly screams old. Not a lot of staining. If i had to guess id go middle aged and call him 3 and fully expect to be wrong.

My bucks were really run down at the end of the season, more so than I remember the last couple years. I am sure having all the acorn energy allowed them to really keep after it. I say that to only mean he looks younger based on body, but that's very misleading this time of year.
I have found older bucks will put on the gnarly bumps on the bases more so than younger bucks do, so based on that and his facial appearance of more graying, I would say he is probably older rather than younger. Not post mature, but probably 4-5yo rather than 3.

Face and antlers look old, body looks young He has that hair growth on his forehead like a mature deer a lot of gray on the face and those cool looking palmated antlers look like they are on the decline. Even though it is a bad angle to judge the body, back looks straight, no belly sag, brisket not protruding. I cannot get past the old looking face and antlers of an old man so I am going to further out on a limb than "Middle Age" and agree with DQ 5 +
