    Got a picture of this nice buck I call Big 9 and have no previous knowledge of him. How old does everyone think he is? Also throw in your guesses on what he would score if you like!

    look at the white around his eyes, the big sag oin his back, and his hip bones showing. I think he's an older deer. Somewhere around 4.5 - 5.5 yrs old.

    It can be hard to tell this time of year. The pic was taken at the end of August. My guess was 3.5 to 4.5 and around 150 gross and still has growing potential. Regardless, he is a nice looking deer and definitely a shooter this year.
