Age Help Request

Unread postby jboswell » Thu Oct 09, 2014 1:41 am

Guys,

I am fairly new to the aging thing, not a great rack on this one but I am wondering if he is mature based on his big belly... I have a couple others that I need some help with aging too... I had written this one off as a 3 year old but, now I am second guessing myself

Please give me your best guess based on the pics..

I am no expert. But given his good antler mass with relatively thin body (looks long legged) for early October, I would say 3 y/o.

I would guess 3.5 Being that the neck almost meets the chest, the back hump is just starting and the belly hasn't dropped yet. But I'm not an expert either.
