Please age this Buck

Based on that pic I'm guessing young deer, maybe 2.5

2 to 3. Young deer. let him walk...

2.5 give him 3 more and you will have a giant.

Young one.

2.5

He has already been killed...but my belief is that he is 2.5 as well.

2.5

That's a shame.

Yes it is.........and I agree with age of 2.5. Who killed him?

The guy hunting next to me...we had discussed allowing the young bucks to walk that morning and his very next hunt he killed him. It's his first year on the lease.

3 yo

Young buck.

Too young.

Is the date accurate? Is that buck in velvet?

I think bucks will look younger early in the year when they are still in velvet.

Could be 4.5 but looks more like 3.5
