Whitetail Age

How old do you think this buck is. I'll show the antlers later.

 

I really cant tell anything from that pic besides that it obviously doesn't have huge headgear.

 

Looks like It's possibly an older buck being It's front shoulders are sticking out some and his back seems to be swayed a little too. But maybe It's just the way he's standing too.

 

Anyway you can adjust the brightness a little so that we can see the rest of his body before I make the call.

 

Here ya go Ben.

 

First impression is old, but upon closer inspection I don't think this is the case. The way that he is standing gives the impression of a sway back and larger front shoulders. Knowing nothing about the location and how far he is from the camera, I would guess 2.5 to 3.5.

Edit: Schultz, just took a look at the options, the only thing about this buck that makes me think there is an outside chance of him being 6.5 is his nose. I went with 2.5. His legs are too long looking for an old, old deer.

 

Sorry I've been out for a bit. That is the only picture I have of him I was hoping that someone would have an idea with just looking at the body. I saw on November 2 he has a sway back,bull nose and a flat head. I'm going to post a picture of his antlers and a picure of 3 bucks together so you can see the differance in deer for the area.

 

I'd say 5+, but I don't claim to be good at aging by any means.

 

The poll spread is too great. It goes from 2.5 to 6.5?????? My vote is 3.5 (with really unlucky antler genetics)

 

.....or 4.5 not sure

 

I made it 50/50. XD

 

5-6 and on his way down
