The angles of the photos aren’t great but I’d say at least 4.5 and quite possibly older. In the color photo you can see he’s sway backed and has a bit of a pot belly, so definitely an older deer.

3 or 4 year old. Not much in the shoulders and chest, head and neck look slim, nice buck though. Be a great deer in two years blah blah, bust him if you like em!

Another vote for 3 or 4. He has potential if he makes it another two or three years. They quit growing when they hit the ground.

The sag in his belly and his long nose says he's a shooter. I do not have to look at him twice to determine that!

I've always felt the bigger mature older bucks are no neckers. My guess is this buck is around 4 years old.

I thought he was about 5 (5.5) years old. I have a lot of game camera photos of him, which are mostly at night, from the past 2 years and saw him last year on the last day of the season and could not get a shot. He busted me in my stand and stood looking directly at me for 30 seconds before turning and heading directly away behind a tree. He was a slick 10 point last fall and winter. If I get a shot this year I will take it. My place is bordered by a huge ranch on 3 sides that leases hunting rights to a few other hunters, although no hunters are within quarter mile of my place. the buck has survived for 2 seasons as a 10 point and maybe he will give me another chance this year.

He looks like a 4.5 year old to me. Starting to show some maturity characteristics, but still pretty slender and long-legged looking.
