If the date on that lic is accurate, he is young. No more than 3.5yo and looks more 2.5yo.
The only thing that shows any age at all are his antlers, so i bet with another couple years he could be really good

Wish I had kept some pics. In rut his back legs were black from hock to hoof. I had some mixed emotions on him, he’s looked lean pre and post season. Neck def filled in during rut. Love the tine length and fork but he flirts with legality in an ar county. Pretty sure I know him from last year and minus the kicker he looks the same.

He looks really young to have that headgear.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

Depending on where he is located, he could get harvested before he reaches his full potential

He looks really young to have that headgear. I thought the same, which makes me wonder possibly older. He’s not in an area that typically produces large bodies and we had a really really tuff year for them rain wise. I guess I’ll hope he is just young.

Depending on where he is located, he could get harvested before he reaches his full potential I saw him a few times and was undecided how old I thought he was. I do have some other hunters around but every better buck I had pre season I have now seen after season close so they have a shot.

Hard to tell. I have pics of bucks during droughts that look younger than previous years.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.
