    I was wondering if you guys help me with the age of this deer. I know it's not a perfect "age" photo but estimates would be helpful. This would be my first buck as I've waited and passed bucks for 4 years now. Oh and I hunt in the Pepin/Buffalo County area.[​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    3.5 immediately popped into my head, although he could be 2.5. Hard to tell by the angle.

    3.5, I believe the chest and neck is too big for 2.5.

    My gut reaction was 2.5 yrs old. If so, that's a dandy 2.5 yr old buck! If not, it's a poor 3.5 yr old buck.. haha

    My first reaction told me it was a 3.5 yr old, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear its a stud 2.5 yr old.
