I wanted to wait to see what everyone thought of the other South Texas buck I posted. This guy is probably a little easier to judge his age. Taken a couple days ago. Was just starting to chase some does. Your thoughts on age? ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/12/full-39941-268037-cbc04711_fb25_4180_b17b_10175791717f.jpeg)

Body says 4.5-5.5 but horns aren't heavy like you'd expect from that age of deer.

I would think a supremely well conditioned 4 1/2. There is some sway in his back and if his neck delved more into his brisket, I would say older. Just can't quite get there.
Show me a photo in a couple of weeks. If staining down his legs, he will prove to be older.

Tough call. Every deer I've seen(South of Bowie), has a body like that. Unusual year.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!
