Age?

NCHunter25 · 11-23-2008, 08:57 PM

I am new at the trail cam thing. This is the first buck that I have managed to capture on it. Can anyone give a guestimate on age? I know they aren't very high quality pictures but not too bad for a 50$ walmart camera.

One more... this is an NC buck by the way.

I say atleast 3.5...our 2.5y/o's just dont carry that much mass or tine length w/o a little help He's got almost as much mass and more tine length than my 4.5y/o on the wall does. and awfully muscled up to be a 2.5y/o.....if he is, he's the biggest body and rack (mass and length, not points) Ive seen from NC....you guys are used to thos big midwest deer.

Thanks for all of the replies... I am definately not shooting this deer with anything besides the camera this season. With any luck ill have a shot at him next season.

picture is a bit hard to tell but going from what I see hes no older then a 2.5

So far we have replies from somebody from OH, IL, and WI saying he's 2.5.....have you guys ever saw our NC deer? a 4.5 y/o around here will generally be 100-120"....120" being a great deer....You guys from the midwest are used to big deer. Why dont you understand that? I have worked check stations before and pulled jaw bones....2.5y/os here generally dont carry that much mass or body weight. Ive seen some 2.5y/os that are wider and maybe 8 or 10pters but not that much mass or weigh that much.
