Age this Buck

3.5-4.5

That deer was conceived on December 5th, 2015 and born on June 23rd, 2016

His father was a 2.5 year old three point who was killed by a spotlighter

His good genes came from his mother who has birthed numerous bucks that had potential but were shot at 2.5 years old because the hunter “wanted to let him grow but those assholes on the lease next to him are brown and down so they would have shot him anyways”

4.5

Yea, I learned that also. I mean you should be able to follow a deer through 4 years of pics. Every deer has scars and cut ears man, if it doesn’t he obviously must only be 1.5.
I laughed pretty hard at that post. Nobody is right 100% of the time, but the more you pay attention to the deer in your area the better idea you can get.

5.5

Old enough to buy beer

When yall estimate a deers age are you mainly looking at the body of the deer? Antler size? Neck?

3.5. I hunt in a club that shoots only by age (4.5) and I would let that deer pass. With that being said we do end up killing many 5.5 year old deer per jaw bone aging. I’d rather let a deer walk if age is questionable, but we don’t have members killing everything they see where I hunt.

He will get shot if he presents himself
