    At that time of year (late summer) for this deer to have a deep brisket and full belly I'd have to age him at 3.5.

    2 1/2. Maybe 3. Back and shoulders look like they are starting to flatten out. Na, solid 2 1/2. That's about it.

    you'll have to excuse my ignorance but how are browtines related to aging a buck?

    I would say three he has a low brisket and it he is starting to show good maturity so he is three to three and a half.

    I have seen old bucks that have no more than 1 inch bow tines. The brow tines don't have anything to do with the age of the deer.
