    My guess is 3 right now or 3.5 this fall. Doubtful that he is 2 or 5 I guess you could make a case for 4 but I would lean towards 3

    He's six years old, I can tell by the number of hairs on his belly.




    No, not really...I'm saying 4.

    Lol. I'm leaning towards 4. 4.5 this fall. Pretty big neck, it almost meets his chest and his front shoulders are larger than his rear hind quarters. Maybe I just want him to be a shooter lol. I only have a handful of mature deer on the property I hunt, which is about 160 acres. About 100 of that are AG fields, corn and soybeans.

    I'm saying 4. Most 3 year olds look long legged, his don't. It would be hard to pass but if you did I think you have something awesome in the next year or two.

    Based on your local, the deer's neck, nose, and body I am going to go with 3.5. Rack sure looks gigantic when they have their ears pulled all the way back don't they? :p

    I agree with Midwestmachine. I think three. He will be 3 and a half this fall. His legs are still to long as well as his nose. To be over 3. He is getting a pot belly. What a beautiful deer. One more year and he will be a hammer.

    I also think he is 3. Look where his neck inserts into the brisket. As they get older, the neck inserts lower and lower until there is no defined neck line.
