If I put my wife in a high fence will her rack get bigger? ![[Linked Image]](http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/k513/harmsway_15/th_DSC02082.jpg)

Head, neck and shoulder development makes me think he's a 5 year old.

Great looking buck. I would call him a 4 yr old.

I'm going to say 5.5+; very deep brisket, great mass in the shoulders and neck for pre-rut. Got any pics from the rut? Would like to see what his tarsals did.
Great buck. Love the forked G2. Nice double throat patch too.

Tough call but going with 4, stud of a buck.
Patience is the key

Great looking buck. I would call him a 4 yr old. I agree, looks very similar body wise to the buck I shot this year, a fat 4 year old.

Great buck. IMO no one alive can reliably age a 4.5 vs. a 5.5 year old deer on the hoof. (Unless they know the specific deer.)
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Chooter either way for me! Guessing 4.5 because back still way straight, face still narrow, hips lean. Just does not look like its got that fully mature look yet

im going with 4.5, lines look too straight especially in that 3rd pic (and im assuming thats prior to the rut based on the date too). left eye looks kind of funny in the last pic?
