    That 5.5 might be about right. Nice buck for sure.

    Definatly looks to be a mature deer. It almost seems impossible to age a deer over 4 1/2 just by pictures, unless youve had him on cam from a yearling. I often think about this when people have pictures of big bodied, big racked bucks. I recall a hunt on whitetail freaks tv show where a guy was able to harvest a 10+ year old buck (he had him on cam since it was 2 1/2) and the buck easily could have been guessed as a 4 1/2 year old.
