Note the relaxed position of the ears when estimating the inside spread.

What they said, also remember they always look wider from behind.

Thanks for replies.

With a little luck, I might find one of his sheds in the coming weeks.

And of course, I'll be on the look for him next Fall.

Here's a side shot.

Anyone want to estimate his age?

I would guesstimate going on 4. Very seriously doubt he'll make it to 5.

I think that's wider than 17". This buck that I shot was 17.5" [img]https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/...3_9773307841224[/img]

My guess 17 wide also, but I think he is 3 1/2 in age. still has long legs, a flat belly, and barely if any chest.

Splitting hairs but he would be closer to 4 at this time, correct?

Yep, 4, I guess I was thinking about age during deer season.

3 year old and 17 looks about right. Approximately 3 years and 7 months old for those who want to get specific.

By looking at his left ear, and his tail, I believe somewhere between the hours of 12 and 12.

That's easy...see how he is leaning slightly to his left in both photos.. That means in the PM, because his mother did not want to look into the sun while giving birth....Any good hunter would have know that!
