    Hey guys, relatively new to this site, been reading a lot of forums and bowhunting for quite a few years now. What do you think the age and weight of this deer is? Located in Wisconsin, we call him "Stumpy" because he has no tail. Let me know!

    Welcome to the forum, hope to see more of you and your pics. I would say 3 1/2 and 175lbs. Why don't you kill him this fall and then we will know for sure. :rock::rock:

    Blessings.....Pastorjim

    I think he is in the high 140 low 150 range. Probably a 4 1/2 maybe a great 3 1/2.

    He doesn't have the swayback or the big belly, I'd say he's a 3 1/2 yr. old.

    Let him walk

    The shape of his face makes him look like 31/2 yr old but the rest of his body looks more like 41/2 yr old. Need some more photos closer to rut to see if his fills out more like a 41/2 yr old. I f he is 31/2 you need to let him reach 51/2 he would really be nice.

    3 1/2 and 180 Lbs dressed.......certainly a nice buck for that age. Remember he will put on a lot of inches over each of the next two years. Let him walk at least this year if you can.
