Just trying to get an estimated age on this deer. They all seem small bodied and we are new to hunting the hill country of TX. The buzzards beat me to him, so he is a little ugly. Damn, they are efficient. thank you!

Difficult to say after all he’s been through. When they are standing it’s easier to get a better idea of age.

Welcome to our forum.
I doubt anyone can help you much from a pic like that. May have more luck posting a pic of his teeth to help age.

The head of that deer shows age, I'll conservatively say 5+

old enough and not getting any older ... I'd say 4+ from what I can tell

I agree with freerange, hard to tell anything from that pic. Teeth could possibly help get within a couple years range

nice deer whatever the age

I would say older than 4. He is not an immature buck.

I came to the hill country after hunting south Texas for 20+ years and I am usually 1 year, sometimes 2 years off on aging bucks…Hill country deer look younger than they are in most cases.

Have to look at more subtle thing to get an age you usually wouldn’t have to down south.
