    4 to 5 year old. Pot belly, stubby looking legs, block head. All the make up of an older deer.

    Big triangular face, pot belly, solid neck and brisket developed means at least 4 to me. But, I see some saggy neck skin and area behind the belly looks to be a bit small, possibly 'past his prime'... so I'm more inclined to say he could even be 5+.

    Ya he is an old smart deer past his prime. He was the biggest 8 point I had personally ever seen last year. This year he is still a great deer. But he has defiantly lost some inches.
