I believe he is 4.5, but a couple of pics have me wonder if he couldn't be a big 3.5. What is y'alls thoughts?[Linked Image][Linked Image][Linked Image][Linked Image]

It's hard to tell with the zoomed in pictures, but I would say he's at least 4.5.

I see 4.5. Straight back, full but not sagging belly, neck starting to showing good size but brisket is still distinct, thinner face/jaw.

Pic #3 is not even the same deer. Or at least not the same year.

Good catch on pic #3. I didn't notice that last night. Brow tines are definitely different. I'm hoping he makes it another year or 2, but to be honest if he walks out in frontbof my son. I wouldn't stop him from shooting him if he wanted to. He would be a great first buck. However. I will let him walk.
