    Just got this buck on cam. I'm thinking he's a 3 year old but just wondering what you guys thought. Screenshot_2017-08-01-18-18-42.png Screenshot_2017-08-01-18-18-42.png

    Awfully fat for a 3 yr old. What state is this? Maryland? I agree the rack looks 3 but ignoring the headgear I'd guess 5. His hams are big and his chest looks too deep for a 3 yr old. I'd say 4 or 5.

    I always struggle with aging this time of year. I agree belly is hanging low. The neck didn't look to blend into the chest enough for me. The nose looks a bit long too.

    That's what's confusing me is his body size. Yes Maryland.

    I think he is a big bodied 2 year old. He will look a lot different when the velvet comes off. He may have good genetics. Often times these guys will surprise you.
