You know the deer better in your area than anyone else could. The buck you want to know the age of is one year older than the buck he's traveling with....which to me looks like a 1 1/2 years old. They're both extremly healthy, but not old, I'm betting you hunt farm lands..

older deer revert back to younger ( 3 1/2) looking deer.
Look at the deer next to him hes about 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 notice the face on him knda of short look at the other his face has thinned back out like an old man, look at the brisket, look at the hinds, not as rounded or plump any more, the color , hes lighter than the younger healthier buck, look at the wrinkles. But the number one deal breaker is the forhead skull plate, its sunken or concave, this is seen in only real old bucks.
In my opinion this is an old buck.
