I had this guy show up the past couple nights right at sundown. How old would you guess? I’m an amateur at this, but I’m thinking 3-3.5. I’m in the Monroe area.



He’s the back right one here.


And here’s a couple more to help.

That last image is deceiving with that chest. Give him a little bit to bulk up and you will be able to age him for sure. All deer look 1-2 years younger in the summer months. For now, I say 4yr old.

I also say 3.5 but I wouldn't be really surprised if it was 4

Good find.

My guess 4-5 year old. Beautiful deer

I wouldn’t let him go a year longer if he stepped out

I think you're dead on with the 3-4 year old.

Look- I would shoot him personally but if you can consistently get him in your spot and wait a year or two you could have an absolute bruiser on your hands. You also could have a nocturnal bruiser on your hands, you never know

The easiest (and only good way I know of) to identity a 4.5 year old is the neck line. Under 4.5 there’s an obvious juncture where the neck ends and the chest begins. On a 4.5 and above that’s a smooth line from the throat all the way to the chest area. Based on that criteria he’s 3.5. He’s a frigging HAMMER for that age. If you could get him to his NEXT set of antlers they’ll be massive. Good luck with that though. Fantastic buck

Explain the .5 year to me (3.5, 4.5 vs. 3, 4). Wouldn’t that put the doe bred in February/March?
