Hey man he's awesome and forget all that young talk look at his body esp. his belly line that's a 5 year old deer lock and load I expect to see pictures of him in the back of your pick up on sunday november the 7th by the way I m a state registured wildlife biologist I age them for a living! Good luck

thanks, i just couldn't guess the age, it always tougher for me to age them that time of year.

i don't think i'd be able to pass on him if i see him this year. i didn't see him during bow season, and i woulda popped him if he stepped out.

Thats a nice buck, I hope he goes nocturnal for a year or two. Then he will be real nice

I'd say 4.5 and he would be hard to take a pass on, but if he makes next year he'd be really, really nice.

Thats a Hill Country deer, im betting he is older than most of you think, im going to say he's 5.5, i'd send one through the boiler room.

That is a really awesome buck there. He'll be awesome if he can stay hid out for this year.

ha thats because when they get old they get a pot belly like your grandpa. That deer has all the tales of an older deer, pot belly proprtional leg to body length, a sagging front brisket.

Id say 4.5 minimum to 5.5

riflePut him down, that is a good deer. How long have you been watching him? If this is the first year you have seen him, .....

I agree that he is older than most think. And agree the pot belly is one of the signs that a buck is mature. He is at least 4 1/2 and most likely 5 1/2.

I think you should take him before your neighbor does, or a car does, or whatever else could !
