    Nice rutted up buck. Hard to guess age without seeing more of his body.

    Certainly old enough. I'm guessing you're in the ballpark.

    No way you can draw a accurate conclusion from that picture.

    4-1/2+ anything above that is a guessing game for me

    Hard to say from that pic, but he's definitely more than 3.5.

    Need to see more, especially since you don't have your location listed

    Very hard to tell because you can only see the front of his body. My guess would be at least 5.5 but very hard to tell without being able to see his whole body

    Nice but you still can't determine age from that picture. Is he mature? Yes but beyond that you could age him at any number you want to because it would be a guess.

    I agree that is it hard to tell from that picture alone. He is not a yearling though, that's for sure :tu:

    He's older than 4.5 is all I'm confident in saying. He could be as old a 7.

    Need to see his belly, back, and butt. Even then its just a guess. He's a bruiser in my book.
