Got one the other day and wonder his age

[ROVERBOY]

How old do you think he is?

Hard to say for sure on that angle but leaning 3.5.

 

[ROVERBOY]

Here's another. I think he's probably 3 1/2.

cover up his head and neck and I would swear 2.5 or younger. But with all that neck I agree that 3.5 is most likely

Kind of a strange one IMO

If he is healthy he is 2.5. He looks sick

An odd one for sure. I believe he looks younger than he actually is, but remember, we are now in December and bucks have lost a lot of weight. Looks like you are up on the KY line, so the primary rut should be well over.

Not sure if folks ever look at their faces on tough pics like these, but I do and sometimes you can get somewhat of a better indication of age. Call me crazy. His nose is long and pointed, which typically indicates a younger deer (more like a 2.5). I do not see the big roman nose on him.

All things considered, I'd go with 3.5. Either way, he will continue to grow those tall tines in future years and be an impressive deer.

I too, think there is something going on with him as well. Odd for sure

 

[ROVERBOY]

I think he's run down a lot. I think he's 3 1/2 and just lost weight from the rut. His neck and shoulders are thick. That's why I think he's a little older than his body looks. But, who knows right.

I'd go with rutted down 3.5 y/o as well. Just too muscular to be 2.5 (except his hams, those def look 2.5)

2.5 with a lot of potential.
