My 10 year old son and I watched this guy in some pretty thick fog yesterday morning. We didn’t get to see him long, but he was nice enough to pose for the camera this morning. I see some characteristics that say 6 year old and others that say 4 or 5. Frankly, I’d much rather he be 4. Any thoughts?

Im with you, tuff to age, he seems oddly contorted in every pic. He's got enough staining and neck to put him to me at the latter end of middle age to mature.

6.5 for age to me.


If I'm not hunting something I must be dead.

Over 5 for sure. I can see how some angles make it tough but too many others scream it. As usual I really like what y’all got.

That's an old soldier. He's a solid shooter or one to just let live out his days. Your call.
