Got him last week, age guesses

[Madbowh]

Seen him following a doe real close opening day of rifle and didn't come the way we thought he would be and went up the hill on our right then less than 5 minutes late a big 10 came out going where this one and doe came from I think because the 10 did not go near this one and doe this one was the dominant one of the 2, my daughter was hunting that day and couldn't get a shot on either one I went back 2 days later and dropped him in his tracks right where him and doe came out the other day. He was heavy i have dragged a lot of deer and this one was definitely one of the heaviest. I shot one last year dressed 125 and was pretty easy to drag this guy wasnot. If I was to guess the weight I would think around 160. And boy was he stinky. Got him with my new .350 legend at 50 yards in BSF. May not be the best pics, when I dropped him at the processor he kept going on about the body on this deer.

Hard to tell by those pics but he looks like a 2.5 year old. Did you save the lower jaws? Tooth wear/replacement is a more accurate guess than just looking at a deer. Congrats!

 

[backyardtndeer]

Congratulations. Would guess likely 3.5, possibly 4.5.

 

[Lost Lake]

I'm gonna say 3.5

 

[cbhunter]

I'd guess 3.5 on neck size but it's tough to judge by kill pics

 

[medic]

I'd guess 3.5

Tough pictures but got some long legs, 2 1/2

 

[Madbowh]

Thanks, I thought at least 3.5 if not 4.5. I've had a couple deer I've taken checked be twra that was 2.5 I know this one is definitely one then the also any 2.5 I've shot never smells as stank as this one did I was 10 yards from him and could smell him. I smelled him that morning to while in my tree I smelled him and actually looked at my scent bottle and that dang I ain't put that scent in there lol. Sure wish my daughter had got him would've been awesome first deer, but things happen I'll get her one. Taxidermist has the head doing shoulder mount, see what he thinks also
