3.5 Year Old 4pt?

[Blue Water Buck]

We have a couple of pics of this guy from last year. He was still a 4pt then. Are we off in our aging or is this guy just destined to be one nice 4pt mature buck?

how recent is that pic

Last week of October

I killed a buck a few years ago that was 4.5+ that was only a five pointer. Had 21 inch beams and the bases were as big as I've seen around here, but had only brow tines and 1 little point.

3.5

 

[Shed Hunter]

No way 4.5

As small as his neck is I would say 2.5

Neck looks 2 1/2, but chest depth looks 3 1/2.

2.5

This picture was taken in 2010 in the same spot...this is the deer (back deer)we think the one up top is. Bad angle. What do y'all think? Pictures taken at same spot two years apart. Are they even the same deer?

 

[ROUGH COUNTRY HUNTER]

he is 4.5

 

[monsterbuck07]

I am now triple guessing myself, I have said to no on pulling the trigger because I lean more towards 2.5 and my brother ( bluewaterbuck) thinks he is 3.5...others have suggested 4.5. I have passed on him once, if he is a 4.5 year old hammer is coming down.

I thought same but does his neck look skinnier because it's fully outstretched in that particular pic?

that is a very nice fork horn right there, I would shoot it just based on character of the rack

 

[easy45]

No way he is older than 3.5

 

[W.Seay]

He is not older than 3.5

 

[Football Hunter]

3.5 I think

 

[HenryCohunter]

Maybe one of the late born tweeners. We get them on our place once in a while. Makes them hard to judge. Shows some signs of 3.5 some of 4.5. Awful big chest .

Ground check him then you will know for sure how old he is. I'd say its the same deer.

 

[BSK]

The more I look at him, the more I'm leaning towards 3 1/2.

Impossible to say if the summer-time buck is the same buck from a previous year.
