How old is this guy? Austin County

This buck is thin and very muscular, but I don't think he's terribly young. I think he's 3.5 and believe the last picture may be him last year, though he didn't progress much if so. I like his tine length and how his main beams wrap around, but he's not legal as of now.

Thoughts on his age and whether the last picture is the same buck from a year ago?

You'll also notice that I cleaned up all the loose wood laying around everywhere from 2013.

I probably tripped two dozen times in the dark before realizing that was a good idea.

no older than 3.5 maybe 2.5

A little young, but he is looking good. That third pic looks like he antlers sticking out of his ears.

He gunna be a beast in a couple years!

If he's 2.5, that last pic was as a 1.5 year old.

No way in hell in my area.

Looks 3.5 to me.

^^^^

Me too.

Another 2.5
