Whats your opinion on the age of this buck?

1 year old. That camera takes very nice pictures .

1 1/2-year old. Or will be in a few months.

 

1 1/2 to 2 years old

 

Yep! Good looking deer!

 

Yup, I agree with the majority in saying he's 1 1/2 years old. Still has a long nose, no noticeable back sway, and appears to be fairly healthy. He'll be a pretty nice buck here in two or three more years.

 

If he's a 1.5 year old, that's better then 99% of the 1.5 year old bucks around my area.

 

1.5 is my vote...

 

Yea you can't really see the face well enough to tell if there's any graying or not and deer look different in every state so my logic could be off. I still don't think he's that old though and with a few more years he'll have potential to be your next target.

 

To be honest Brandon I was thinking (hoping) 1.5 myself but thought I'd get some opinions from everyone on what you all thought.

 

I gotta say 1.5 also. That mass will disappear along with his velvet.

 

Im seeing a 2.5 there. But maybe thats because thats a 2.5 here Lmao. Good looking deer!

 

1.5 He's going to be a good one in a couple years.Nice looking pic's!!!!

 

Very nice 1.5'er. I thought originally maybe 2.5, but if he was 2.5 he would have more muscle up front and in his hin quarters imo.

 

1.5 (plus extra charactors so I can post)

 

I'm going with the consensus that he's a yearling. I got a trail cam pic of a 1.5 year old that sports a rack nearly the exact same as this buck.. both will be dandy's.

 

I'm gonna say 2.5.

After spending about 3 years visiting my inlaws and the small herd of neighborhood "pet" deer they have, this year I'm beginning to rethink how old deer really are. I'm learning that they don't always age the way you would think according to what you see on the internet and magazines. They have a 2.5 year old buck that is smaller than that one rack wise, and much smaller in the body, with that high backend on him still......where the front quarters haven't caught up yet. I know he's 2.5, because I've personally seen him and fed him myself since he was a button buck. He has a scar on his front leg that really distuinguishes him from the other deer that are around, plus he's at their house on a daily basis.

They also have a 3.5 year old 6 pointer that you would swear was 2.5 by looking at him. He's built like a 1.5 in the body, but has about an 85" rack on him. I also know he's 3.5, because his rack and face are easy to distinguish him from the others. They have been feeding him as well since he was a fawn, and he never left the "herd" or relocated. He's also there on a daily basis. Below are a couple pics of this 3.5 buck.

 

I'd say he's just old enough to start watching in future years. My guess is he's 2 1/2.

 

I say 2.5 as well.

 

He's a tweener, and the toughest kind for me to decipher. Could be a great 1.5, or a small end 2.5.
