    I agree. 2.5 or 3.5 at most.

    With no history on that deer I’d hang a 3.5 on him and hope to get more pics of him towards the rut or see him well enough then to get a better picture.

    Best way to find out is to shoot him and send in the teeth ‍♂️

    3.5 or 4.5. No way on earth is that a 2.5 year old. Too much of a brisket. Even the deer I know on my property that know are 4.5 or older don't really have sagging guts until September or so.
