    3- has a visible brisket development, no/very little sallow where neck meets back. Not overly thick neck and no belly (to speak of).

    I'm saying 3-4, very hard to distinguish between 3-4 from early summer pics, for me at least.

    That's a healthy looking deer. Definitely a 3.5+. I'm leaning closer to the 3.5 based on his back half

    He can be 3 or 4 or even 5, but he can't be 3.5, 4.5 or 5.5...my guess is 3 but who really knows?

    I would say on brisket development and his top line I would put him at 3.5.
