Age guess with body only...

[tlambert]

This is in WI. I'm checking a new spot in the swamp and wanted to see what you all thought for age on this guy. Pics were from this past Saturday.

Great neck (tis the season) but sleek body. I'd say he is no older than 3.5 years.

 

[hoosierhunter]

3.5 and maybe a big 2.5 year old.

Big ol' neck on him. id say 3.5

 

[HorseDoctor]

Everything past puberty has big necks right now. He has a young body/belly & may well be a 2 1/2. Because the question sounds like a set-up, he may have a spindly yearly rack under all that black.

first impression is 4.5, but assuming this is a setup, a Baby face. 1.5.


This is a lose/lose Travis! Not fun!

I'd go with 4 1/2

 

[ironwood]

2 or 3 would my thoughts

 

[Shoey]

4 yrs that gut is not that sleek

Well here's the full pictures. I'm guessing him at 3. The racks don't get overly big in the swamp country but they usually get some mass and this guy is pretty spindly. He broke one of his G2's off in a picture I just got of him this week.


Here's one before the snow.

OK, it's not a yearling. Now I'll go with the 2 1/2 - 3 1/2 group... Shoot him in acouple years and have him aged. Will be awaiting the answer.
