    My first impression was that he is nice, but looks young. He doesn't have great mass, but does have a little sway in his back. My guess is he is a 3.5 year old. I have seen really nice 2.5 year olds that have a great main frame 10 however as well. Either way, a good deer.

    Your in GA so you wont get the greatest mass but the body tells me that he is 4.5. Short legs to the body, sagging belly, short neck, sway back, and short nose all tell me that he's 4.5. Great deer! Go get em'!

    This buck is defineatly 5 1/2 years old . Chances are you will not see him in daylight. If you want to take your best shot, try rattling and decoying just before dark. Staying until it is total darkness. That is where the does are.

    Yup. 4.5+.

    Finding him? Too many questions to ask to help. To start I'd go with the thickest stuff you can find around.
