Any guesses on age?

Unread postby DaHunter » Sun Jan 10, 2016 6:34 am

Any idea how old this buck might be? I know he is at least 3.5.

I'm having a hard time getting good picture quality. But I'd say 3.5 at the most.

Tough to tell by the pic, but I'd agree around 3.5

The date on the trail cam pic, as well as a full pic of the deer would help. I'm not great at this, but I don't see the belly sagging in that pic.

Full pic might help and I don't know where your from. I'd guess 3 yr old based on the pic.

Trail cam pic was from mid November, so during the rut. Track was today. I was thinking he might be more than 3.5, but maybe not. SW Michigan area. He's got a couple 8-10" diameter trees rubbed up, probably 3ft up from the ground. Glad he made it through, because for my area, he could be real nice next season. Hes already a ghost during the season though.

Only way to know for sure is get him next season.
Post another pic if you get one. He could be 4, just hard to tell. I'm in SE MI and I've seen a couple 4 yr Olds that had similar body size, so it's totally possible.
