Jacob, first of all, welcome to your first post. It looks like youve been around for awhile but havent jumped in. Ill warn you it can be addicting so unless you are retired and have no family or responsibilities then i suggest you be careful jumping in too deep.  I spend way too much time on this forum to be a healthy use of time. As for your deer, I know my eyes are not good at all but its next to impossible for me to tell much about that deer. I love to age so I wish you could get other pics. The one pic thats decent light I would guess 3 but thats a guess. Do you know if he is broke off of that one side or if he just grew weird from an injury or something?
Keep your gratitude higher than your expectations. RWH

Thanks Freerange. I may post more now! I have two more pictures but unfortunately they’re not much better. I’ve never seen him in person he shows up between sits. It appears to me he grew that way! Hoping to see him year round to see how he develops next year.

Not sure it matters, he is old enough to shoot and with that right side, his genetics need out of the gene pool IMO.

Likely 3.5, possibly older. Looks like he broke that side off. Unless you really need a deer, I’d say he is very promising.

From those pics at least a 4 yr old and that is an injury...not genetics.

Looks 4 in several of the pics but in a couple others I see 5
High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!
