Judgement made solely on the rack. Guessing video is from last year seeing as the leaves have fallen and it appears there is snow falling (maybe flies in front the of cam). So he'd be 2 1/2 this year. Body isnt as big as you think. No sagging belly or sway in his back which you see with bucks that are 3.5 years or older. OP said he's hunting an Ag area, I'd expect them to put on some weight quickly.


I say he's 2.5. I also don't think deer have a belly or a sway back at 3.5.

Here are the other 3 bucks for comparison sake and my guesses on age. Not bad for a 5 acre patch of timber.

3.5


2.5


2.5

I hope he wasn't more than 1.5. Crappy cull if any older.

Yea that one you have listed at 3.5 is older. You can look at the legs on the OP deer and tell he is young.

Good, I was hoping he was older and had thought that for a while but I had a few people talking me into a younger age. I'll be interested to find out exactly later this month.

The deer in the OP spent a lot of time in front of me last year but I always let him walk. Hoping that he looks different this year. If not he won't last long.

Really excited to see what the last two look like this year.

Question is, did anyone see the ghost fly through right at the end?!
