    If you already know the answer, let's not spoil it. :rock:

    Take your best guess, how old do you think this deer is?

    When was the pic taken? He looks to be 2.5 to me, but I have a feeling he's older.

    Is this picture in someone's yard? It must be an Illinois deer. They aren't scared of people.

    I'm thinking pretty old. I'm probably way off though. Hard for me to judge deer In the early season.

    I noticed that...ass sticks way out hips are gone...long nose, yet the head is not blocky but shows some graying, could just be the pic....pot belly but not much bow in the back, could just be eating well...brisket sticks out somewhat...it has some wrinkling in the neck and top of the shoulders.

    Looks more like an old doe than an old buck, LOL.

    I could be way off but I'm going with Dan...7 1/2-8 1/2.

    Looks young for a deer in my area. I'd say 2.5 most likely or a small 3.5 maybe.

    I'm not good at aging, but I am curious to see the answer. It is a skinny deer. If I had to guess I would go older more than younger.
