    This is a buck I call Gus from the 2016 season. A neighbor found his right side shed so pretty sure he made it through the year. I was wondering what you all think his age is? I think he is a 3.5 year. Many arguments have been made for 4.5 and even some 5.5 but I still think 3.5. Haven't got him on cam yet this year but i'm sure he will show up.

    I think 3.5 .. body is tight and not to much sag to the belly and just outside the ears. That's just me though. I could see someone saying 3.5-4.5

    Very good deer but I think that he looks to be a 3.5 year old too. Definitely not fully developed as an older deer.

    I also don't think he's any older than 3.5. He's a fine buck though. I hope you can catch up with him this year.
