I have no pictures of this deer from previous years and have been watching him all year. I have not seen him in person, just on camera. I keep waffling on the age and wanted to see what all you experts have to say...

6.5 +. Looks like he's already getting a beer belly like an old man.

4.5 yr old. Hock is not stained and scaulded down his back legs. Face is not cupped or dished of an older buck. Facial color is more of a 4 yr old deer. Not enough muscling in the neck to call him older than 4. Brisket does not extend down below his elbow joint on the body line to be called older IMO.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people?

Body wise the deer doesn't even look like the same one from the two sets of pictures.
The second set of pics makes me agree with stxranchman.

I agree I think the top pic and bottom are 2 different deer. Maybe it's just the pic angle. Bottom I say 4.5 top 5.5.

That's what I was seeing! That's the reason I asked the question. I have a pretty good feel about the deer on this place because I have been there dang near 20 years. This one just through me because of the weight difference and his facial features.
