Do you have pics that aren’t such closeups? And, welcome to our forum!!! 
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

I added a couple to my original post. Couldn’t figure out how to add them in my reply.
Thanks!

New last pic is a different younger deer with less points and mass. Your deer is older, probably 5.5-6.5yo, sagging brisket skin, Roman head, lots of face, neck wwrinkling. Feed him a lead diet if you'd like, definitely old enough.

Feed him a lead diet if you'd like, definitely old enough. Agree. The big boy in the first few pics is mature - face, brisket, little back sway. You could convince me he's on the way downhill. Time to shoot him. The last one is a younger deer that he probably sired.

5.5 IMO. I'd ground check him for sure.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

I agree this deer is older, and he is a classic example of a long leggy deer but his face shows his age.
