Once again, ol' Sasky just about took the words right out of my mouth.
I think it is a mature buck, 4-1/2 or older, too much body mass and size present for me to think it is a younger deer. But then again, maybe it just well fed beast on a low pressure farm and he is only 2-1/2. :grin: But I will say mature.
I will also say that we have multiple, sometimes several dozen, trail cam pics of specific bucks from our own farm throughout the summer/early fall that depending upon the pose in any given pic, would cause me to think a given buck is a younger deer, even when we know the deer from previous years and know that he is at least 4-1/2 years old.
Personally, I think a lot of people think they know more about aging than what they really do. I admit, while I do know some things about aging, I do not consider myself an expert on the subject by any means. Looking at just one pic of just about ANY buck is not enough to be 100% sure of the age, at least in my experience.

There is no possible way that thing is 2.5 Hes most definately at least a 3 but my guess is 4.5+

The guess's have been pretty good. He is actually an old, old, old buck that is past the down hill slide, he has reached bottom. I really don't know the age of this deer beside's I have 3 years worth of pics of him, and I would have guessed him at 5 or 6 when I started getting the pics, and he has gotten smaller every year. Not 100% sure on age, but I would say 9+.

Dude, nice guess! But tell me, did it help to have the last post by Nannyslayer as a reference prior to your "guess"?
