Age of this deer?

I'd guess 2.5. I'm not good at judging age, though.

No one can accurately determine a deer’s age from a photo.

I agree with statement

Deer looks closer to 2.5 than 4.5

Younger than 4.5

Put a note on the feeder to show its ID to the camera.

2.5-3.5 its not 4

If anyone claims to age a wild deer between 2.5 and 6 using only body characteristics they are just guessing.

His dingaling in that first pic says at least 2.5

Your inability to age deer on the hoof doesn’t mean others are unable to. I understand that your hunting situations don’t require you to age a deer, but there may come a time when you’d like to kill a certain age class of deer. If you have ten or more pictures of a buck and know what an age class looks like in your area, then anyone can age on the hoof. Sure, some will be wrong. But one can get in the ballpark.
