We have seen this deer on cam for 3 years and I have an idea, but wondered what y'all thought? Thank you stxranchman for the help with the photos.

three and half

I would have nightmares about that raccoon pillaging my feeder.

Nice one.

I think 4

I would think 6 years old .

How old did he look to you 3 years ago? Add that estimate to your 3 and there you go!

6+

I had a similar Buck, as far as body condition goes, a few years ago. I couldn’t figure his age.
When he was taken he was 6.
His teeth were worn way down and loose, he probably wouldn’t have made it another year.

I think it interesting that his bucks body condition is down, but his antlers are still going strong.
This dude was a monster a couple years ago.

What part of the state do you hunt?

5

Mature.

Post some of the other pictures from prior years if you can.

Good looking buck

We believe he is 7-8 these 2 pics are from December 2016

My dad should have got him with his bow last year he just didn't pull it off.

We hunt up in the Rolling Plains

7.5, nice buck.

All I can say is mature.

He sure improved a lot to be that old. Looks like everything he was eating went to his antlers and not to the condition of his body. Definitely a shooter horn-wise and age-wise. Probably looking at a big drop off next year in both categories.

That old man has been eating protein for the last 3 years and I'm sure that has helped his antler growth and kept him from declining. 6 and 7 are usually the magical years for our best bucks with good genetics.

thanks

I had him at 5 from the first two photos, however after seeing his 2016 selfies, I think you are right. He is a 6-7 yr. old Stud Buck! Good luck!

Old enough to see he isn't adding any length

This..

6 or 7.....
