    How old do you guys think this deer is? I thought his body kind of looked like he could be oldish but his antlers don't. Could maybe be a nice one next year.

    He might be 3.5 but even that may be pushing it. If he is only 2.5 he's gonna be a slammer for sure in a few years.

    I say 2 1/2 and if it was an older buck you can tell by the belly and back. They tend to sag in the back and have pop bellies most of the time.

    Here is an older buck that I think is like 6 years old! Look at him compared to your buck!
