    Tough angle to see the body enough to accurately guess but the top of the shoulder and lower part of the chest seem to suggest he is over 2 but anything else would be a guess.

    2.5 most likely, but no older than 3.5. During the summer they always look bigger and older. As far as antlers, they always seem to add about 20% so if he looks like hes a 140 in velvet, hes' probably about a 120".

    I'd go older than 3. Shoulders are defined. Big brisket. Neck is set deep in chest. Sway back. But again angles are tough.

    even a 6-7 year old buck will not be defined (body-wise) this time of year

    All anyone can tell from those pics is he's not a fawn or 1 year old, anything after that is a complete guess.
