    Moved my camera and started getting pictures of this brute. Definitely the oldest buck I have gotten this year but I'm curious just how old. Unfortunately I won't really know unless I'm lucky enough to shoot him but it fun to guess.

    My guess is 6.5 but I'm no expert.

    4.5-5.5 would be my estimate, the pics are kinda of hard to tell. Definitely a mature buck.

    Thanks for the input guys, I was prolly high like normal but I'd say he is definitely mature. And I'm going to shoot him if he lets me lol

    It's really hard to tell a bucks age after 4.5 yrs. My guess is ur deer is 4.5.
