He definitely has features of a 3.5 in some of these pics, but would not be surprised if he filled out like a 4.5 come early November.

3.5 or 4.5....you'll know for sure late October
Looks 3.5 to me. I know if he is 3 he need another yr but your tougher than me if he gets it!

3 but it would be tough to not smoke him
Bucks are typically at least one year older than they appear in the summer. If I had to pick an age, I would say 4.5.

3.5yo, just not enough depth of chest to be 4.5.... part of me even thinks hes 2.5
Trigger restraint for sure. That's exactly the type of buck that will make 150 if he can reach maturity

I put a arrow in a est. 4.5 yr old buck last year at this same location during early archery, he survived the shot (somehow) and appeared on camera a month later with an obvious injury on the opposite side I shot him . He had some junk on one of his bases last year and in the back of my mind I wonder if it's possible this is him, this buck is showing up all of the same places he did for the past 3 years ! Here is a pic of the said buck last year , notice the protruding spots near shoulder which is the off side from where arrow went in and broke off.TennSportsman":2aq8dhhs said:

I just can't see a brisket shrinking on a deer that much even with injury...I mean it's comprised of a lot of bone and cartlidge to give the "depth" of chest. An injury shouldn't change those physical characteristics though it could most definitely effect muscle mass and overall weight.

I'd say that he is a 3.5 but wouldn't be surprised that he is 4.5 . Could be the buck you shot , I've heard an injury would effect the opposite side of their rack and that would correlate maybe evidence to his unusual rack . Maybe not to you but to me I would take him given the chance but knowing without an accident he would be there next year he should have an even larger scoring rack .
Can you send me the waypoint of that field....I'd like to give you a educated evaluation of that stud....LOL
Freak for sure. That'll get your heart racin. Good luck sir.

Yes, it is possible that an injured older deer will have lost so much muscle mass and body weight that they will appear significantly younger. But almost 10 months later, he should have completely recovered from the wound. I still that that buck is a younger deer.

I would say it is a 2.5 ...
