Buddy of mine sent this to a few of us in a group text and we can't agree on age. He has no history with this deer that I know of. What say the experts?
I'm agreeing with this. 4.5 min but he has a diff look about him. Wouldn't be surprised at all if he was very oldI'd guess at least 4.5. Certainly could be older but hard to say how much.
Ditto!Fully mature IMO 5.5+
3.5 to 4.5 in poor condition
I assume recently but I'm not 100% sure about that.4.5+….when was pic taken?
He looks like he weighs 140lbs or so (narrow unfilled hips, overly pronounced scapula overlaying rib cage, etc). Hair isn't as slick as one would expect.What indicates poor condition?

To me he has the weight appearance of a 2.5yo buck, but just looks OLD. He may be OLD and going downhill (7.5 plus), but 7.5yos are so rare that I expect he is a middle aged buck that isn't filled out for whatever reason
