    Hello, I was wondering if I could get some of your opinions on the age of this Northeastern Pennsylvania buck. 12510737_10153372082581194_1615895259_o.jpg 12499175_10153372081251194_1609951628_o.jpg MFDC1081.jpg MFDC1096.jpg

    Im no good at aging bucks really, but that's a great one for most of NE PA. Probably 3+. What county?

    Not familiar with that area and the bucks it produces but I would be thinking 2.5 years old.

    The picture after the harvest I would say 2.5, the trail cam pics make me think 3.5. Was he killed after the rut if so may explain why he looks younger. He may of lost a little weight chasing the ladies around. Congrats on your deer.

    He was killed mid December. Thank you everyone for your opinions on age, I was thinking 2.5 yr old but wanted to see what others thought. Passed up the smaller eight point in the one picture in the first week of the season holding out for this guy.
