Tough one to age...

[ah110]

Hey guys, wondering if you could help me edge this buck ive nicknamed Clinton (hes in the same town as the clintons). I got a couple pictures of him last year (summer and early fall) and thought he was only 3.5. Never saw him all season and thought he was dead.

This year he looks alot older. Looks like he grew bigger brows and mass but lost a couple overall inches.

Hes an awesome buck and would die to get an opportunity at him this season

2010



What do you guys think???






Size comparison;

[RUTIN]

I would say hes 5.5 based off his belly and sagging back.... Def 4.5+

[Zap]

He definately looks younger in the last pic....

Maybe 5.

[Swampthing]

I would say 4 1/2 he 's got a few seasons under his belt. I,ve seen bigger antlered younger bucks, but he,s got a mature fram and look to him

[Indianahunter]

4.5 For sure....mature deer....go get him!

[lungbuster]

5.5 possiblly 6.5.

Not sure of the age, but why are those hardwoods dropping apples?

And is that a ground blind in the background?

I would put him at 4.5 yrs old. He has full front and rear hips, sagging belly, but his back seems to be fairly flat still. Looks like a big bodied stud for sure!
