    I'm going to say at least 4. I expect he's got some growth left yet both this year and next if he survives, if you're talking about the one that's broadside.

    The one facing the camera looks old but I can't tell for certain, at least he looks in sort of poor condition from that angle.

    He is still bulbed at the ends on his G3s and main beamed so he should grow a bit more. Soild 4 year old buck if not older. I figure him a little under 130 now but should be over that once he finishes. Would like to see more pictures of him so I am staying pretty conservative on my estimates going off one picture.

    He is a very nice buck !!

    I am no expert when it comes to this but I am fairly confident that last picture you posted is neither of the deer from the first couple you posted, brow tines are way different..

    Any time you see black looking bulbs at the ends of the tines there is still growing to be done. The brow tines are usually the first to finish growing and they will be light brown and pointy at the tips.

    What GregH said.
    Yeah it was the angle and I think he was taking a leak which would explain his stance in the first pic that I mistook for poor condition. I feel like that deer is probably 3. If so he has a lot of room in coming years. Hard to tell from one pic though.

    He is nice now though.

    Definitely still growing. Whatever age he is, he looks good.

    A Lot of growth left in that deer. Very seldom you see a deer end growing when the end of the main beams are that big.

    They usually still have a little more tine length to grow yet in August.
