I would say the same 3.5 +. Without getting my finger in its mouth and taking a look at the molars, cusps, dentine\enamel lines and also the skull thickness. I came to this conclusion because of the neck size (don't think he's rutted up as I still see allot of green foliage in the background) the swayed back, bigger belly and the muzzle diameter. But when all else fails giving him a reach around and checking the size of his cajones is a sure bet to the age! The bigger they are the older they are
Thats my story and I am sticking to it!

Just for the record the word "free range" and in NJ are an oxymoron.

I'm going with 2.5. I noticed at 3.5 they start to get the dangling brisket and he doesn't seem to have it. But judging by the green foliage, it's pre rut and it could be a thin 3.5 yr old or a good gened 1.5, so I'm splitting the difference at 2.5.

Bad angle to the camera, but he very likely could be 3 1/2.
