Had several pictures of this deer visiting my mineral station on the side of a cornfield. With a stand less than 15 yards away that has been there for years without being disturbed. I am believing that he is a young deer with great genetics but I am also troubled that he may be an older deer that is decreasing in size. Try to give me a rough estimate on the age and score on this deer.
i'd say 2.5 his legs seem long compared to body size and i agree freakish potential you have a trophy for sure
I say 4+ with great genetics. 4+ year olds still have that race horse like appearance and longish looking legs. 5+ is when they start looking more balanced with shorter legs and broader, wider body. I don't think there's any way he's only 2+ or even 3+...he's too solid and muscular but too lanky to be 5+ yet. No way that he's peaked yet. I agree he looks younger in the two color pics but the later one in B&W broadside looks to me like he's older than he appears in the two color shots. He's still fairly young though at 4. Incredible deer!
Not the greatest at the age thing but he definitely looks like a young buck. Great buck, love the split brow and just everything!!!!
I have a hard time believing that deer is any younger than 3.5. Definitely don't think it's a 7+ yr old buck that is heading downhill either. I would guess 3.5 yrs old and would make either a great 4.5 yr old next year or a beautiful mount on your wall! I personally would not be able to let him reach 4.5 yrs old if he walked past me! I would put him around 150" gross score.
No way this deer is on the down hill side. He's young-I would say no more than 3.5-but he's definitely a stud. Blessings..........Pastorjim
200+ inch Potential all day long. Buck is no more than 2.5 years old. Great things happen to those who wait...
