This deer appears to be 3 1/2 to 4 yrs. i would say 3 to 3 1/2 is closer. but dont be surprised, this could be a deer with good genetics and potential. hard to see his chest depth and his back to belly thickness. there is really no way of telling how old he is for sure, that is until he is hanging from the rafters and you check his teeth. i would say in about two tears, he will make you a freaky trophy on the wall. lets us know his age then...good luck
