    Is this buck on the down hill slide or up and coming? I'm new to aging deer, gray face, brisket sticks out but no slouched back. I just wanted some opinions from others if this deer should be harvested if the opportunity presents itself or give him another year. So what do all you Pro's think?

    My first impression is he's young just because of his spider legs. I've never seen an old buck on the decline with legs that looked too long for his body.

    The one in the background is a stud.

    I think definitely young. Looks like he has a bright future though.
