I couldn't make a definitive guess by that picture.


You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Bad pic but hard to get better one off my phone. Same exact area. Same buck?

Well that last pic was from two years ago. Watching the video of that buck it looks identical to the one from thia year. Hard time not believing that deer isnt 4 given what I have for footage and pics. Or its that bucks offspring and has identical genes.

I looked at the pics again and there may be at least two different bucks in question here. You can see it in the brows in the first 3 pics...easiest when comparing pic 1 to pic 3. Or is it just the camera angle?

Haha good one! I just think sometimes aging deer is almost impossible. Obviously looks like a 2. I really think its a 4. Which kinda blows my mind.

Agreed. If he is 4, he is a perfect example of a benefit of the bonus buck program. Take him and his genetics out and save your last buck tag for your target buck.

I think most people are using the rack to guess age....block off the rack from your vision so you CANT see it and just looked at the body. I actually think the body looks too old to be a 2 year old, 2 year olds don't have long noses like that. I believe he is probably a runty racked 3 year old, wouldn't surprise me if he was 4. The pic from two years ago does not show enough character to tell for sure....its the same shape and definitely could be the same deer.

He definitely has a bigger body in this photo. It would be nice to have a good broadside pic to see his lines and how boxy he is.

I don't think any of the pictures you have of him are good for guessing his age. Tough to tell in my opinion.
