    This one was a 5pt last year. He had 4 pts on one side and just a main beam on the other. Wondering how old everyone thinks he is? He has to be at least 3.5, I was wondering if he may be older and actually on the downward slide due to the shape of his body?

    I'm not the best at this but I think he might actually be at least 3.5, maybe 4.5 because of the size of his neck. It sounds like he maybe got injured when he was young or has bad genes and wasn't blessed with a nice rack.

    If he was around here in central Illinois, I would say almost for certain 3 1/2 this year. I am clueless when it comes to Vermont. He is a good looking buck.
