    At first glance I just looked at this buck and thought 2.5 and moved on, but when a friend seen it he thought it was older than that. What do you think? Was I fooled by the rack? Here is a five second video.

    could just be the pix too, I have a few bucks on trail camera over a 100 pix of them alone and when you get the right angle they look huge in the body and then in another angle they look small .. My guess is that buck is 2.5 even with that big looking body, there is absolutely no mass there at all. Hes just fat! Must be eating well!

    LOL That's a food plot behind him. He is in a line of small trees running through the middle of a food plot.

    Yeah, he's got a big body on him which can be deceiving at first. But I agree w/ others, no mass on the rack, head/face is average...I said 2-2.5 also.
