Age

[ExtremeArcher]

Looking for some opinions here on the age of this buck...I have been watching him for the past 2 seasons, and I hunted him hard last year to no avail (missed him at 45 yards). I thought I knew his age last year, but am now second guessing myself. My age was largely based off his antlers, and so I am asking what you guys think of him without seeing his antlers. Thanks in advance.

yeah, I would say 6 minimum. Awesome when they get that old

Yes I would say prol a 4.5 - 5.5 yr in 2012. So I would venture to say he's 6.5 or 7.5 this year. Either way would definitely be a trophy in my book based on age!

He looks old in 2013 pics. I have a deer that I know is 7.5 and looks the same. I say 8.5 this year great deer good luck!!!

Dude was 5.5+ in 2012! He's an awesome buck. Forget his rack and stack that trophy!

Looks like a minimum of 4.5 in 2012, making him at least 6.5 yr old this year. Maybe older.
