We have this deer on camera in Jack County. I don't think he's older than 3 1/2 but I'm interested to see hear the THF thoughts. Also, I have attached a pic of a deer a think he might have been last year. Happy hunting!

I see more 4 than 3 in those pics but he is middle-aged. Nice buck.

Thanks STX; I always appreciate your thoughts on these! Really like to see him on the hoof.

Nothing beats seeing one live and in color as they interact with other bucks. That tells you more than a pic.

Looks middle aged to me. If I had to decide on one year and one year only id probably call him 3 just to give him another year.

Thanks for the response guys; we're going to give him another year. The picture attached below is of a mature looking buck we had last year (after the season of course).

Probably 4. What's the pvc angled down off your feeder? used to attach auger/blow to fill your feeder or some other use?

4.0-4.5 yo, that first 2016 I do not believe is him, would be a big jump in horn mass and spread. That other early 2016 pic lower may very well be him.

One of the guys put the pvc on there for a bird feeder; don't ask me I've never used it!

4.5, shoulders and hind quarters match, solid neck. Nice deer. Will swell up dramatically. smile

We have a few more pictures from a new camera. I think this guy is still a little bit young; we are going to let him walk and see if he makes it through. He does have a really pretty double throat patch though.

Here's a new buck we have (nocturnal of course) but he looks older to me. He's a nice 8 with kickers on his G2's! Let me know your thoughts on him

Last buck is definitely mature. Not so sure about the double throat patch buck. He looks middle-aged in some ways and mature in others. Tough call from just the photos.

First pics of the new buck, he looks more middle-aged. The last buck looks to be mature.

Thanks for looking and sorry about all the pics! Double throat definitely looks younger in these pics.
