Front 1/3 and back 2/3 don't match. I'd say 4.5 or so on the back 2/3 - back is straight, not that much belly but fuller than a 3.5 would be. But the front 1/3? Lots of neck, some sag, lots of brisket, face and nose looks old. Rack is that of (usually) an older buck. I need more pics or seeing him in person in 6 weeks.

Head is to blocky to be any younger than 5. Dished or cupped in forehead is also found more on mature deer.

I have him pegged as old but have not put a number on him so these comments help!

Looks older for sure to me.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

Older guy -- but some pics in October/November would help for sure.
Not looking at his rack and just his head/body, I'd say he's 5+.
Where is this guy at? Might help in determining age depending on his area/surroundings.

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

Here is another pic with his running buddy. Some have asked..This is in Haskell county. In this picture you see a little sag under the jaw, and more of a hatchet-butt. Full chest and neck. Back is very straight, though, and while the belly is full, it's not real pot-belly yet. I'm going 5.5 but 6.5 wouldn't surprise me.

Gravity appears to have taken its toll on his male-parts. I'm thinking this guy is O-L-D old.
