How old is he?

[ksarcher]

Here is last year....

and this year....

I can't believe he is any older than 4.5 years old now. Looks really young last year.

I agree I think he is 4.5 years old. Last year he had that higher in the hips look which is common on deer 3.5 and younger.

Nice buck Caz!

Man that thing would be an absolute monster next year, but there is no way I could pass him up this year. What a monster!!

4.5 great buck

 

[ironwood]

I would say that could be a 3.5 year old buck. If not he is 4.5

 

[ironwood]

On second thought 4.5

 

[jjohnson]

He looked young last year but he's got to be 4.5 with a rack like that this year. He really blew up regardless.

I agree with Ghost best buck I've seen yet. Just a beautiful animal.

i'd say 4.5 also gained a little mass

I think he's 4.5 this year. He does look young last year but he was beginning to put a little muscle on the shoulders and hips; too much for a 2.5 year old. I really think he was 3.5 last year.

I'm with nanny on this one. He put on growth everywhere this year...one could only imagine "what could be" next year, but I'm not sure I'd hold off. He has a long slender snout, still.

You have a nice problem on your hands, but I don't think you could make a wrong decision either way.

If I wasn't worried about the neighboring pressure I would let him walk if given the chance. He could be a real giant next year for sure. When rifle season opens here, all bets are off on him getting a "pass" from the neighbors.
