Looks mature but fluffed up hair when they are cold makes it difficult. Staining of the hocks on the rear legs shows he is mature. Does not look like a cull to me, more busted up and/or injured antlers.

No way of knowing without an ear notch or a scar. Certainly has similar genetics. If it's the same deer he took a pretty healthy jump. Looks more like 5.5 now. Good luck!

My guess would be its not the same deer. His normal side last year the beam goes back and then forward and stays kind of low. This year the beam goes a good ways up before it goes a little forward. Both are unusual and not very good pics at all. Both seem mature.
