Looks like he's mature.

Here is a series of pictures of a buck we have never seen before. To me he looks like he could be a 4 year old buck. What does everyone think? He's a tad behind a buck I saw on the 20th which already had g4's starting. Either way he's gonna be a shooter this fall.

 

There are several factors at this time of year that make it hard to age bucks. Thin coats, velvet antlers, and etc. The pics are a bit dark but I don't think he's older because his neck is still pretty thin. But again, that could be because of the summer coat.

no matter age, he is still a nice buck

 

Lets shed some light on this bad boy Looks like a keeper to me

 

Thanks for making the pictures lighter gutone4me.

 

thats going to be a hog all of the deer this time of year look smaller because of the coat. just look at his brow tines ones arealdy splitting which is usually a sign of an older deer, ears are scared up, and the spread is alreadys pushing outside the ears. Id say 3 1/2 4yr old

 

looks good, looks like he is gonna have a split on his left brow!

 

I would say he will be a solid shooter... Hes got good bases and mass, plus his width is starting off good. He should be easy to follow with that right ear missing the bottom half. Def one to keep tabs on
