Photos were taken through binos from about 400 yards.

Well, all the things I know to look for are not very defined because of the distance. I'm not much help. It aint no yearling tho..
6+ ?

Yeah, I know he's mature for sure. Never came any closer than that. He was at an awkward angle from where I was sitting in the blind. Sorry for the photo quality. Freehanded iPhone 6 behind some freehanded 10x42 binos.

I'm going to step out on a limb and guess that he is a mature buck!! rifle deer2 If that guy is in Jackson county, he is a definite shooter for that area!

Real hard to tell from the pics. Appears easily 4 but could be any age older than that.

Matagorda County, but not too far down the road. Good buck for either I think.

yeah from those pics there is really no way to tell - first pic he looks mature but I have been fooled before by still pictures that are blurry -

I'm going to try this weekend if I see him again. That's the only time this year I've seen that deer.

From these pics, especially the 1st one I agree.

Well, rifle season is over down here. Hunted this past weekend and didn't see that buck. May take my son next weekend to see if he can get a shot at him.
