IMO he's 3.5 maybe 4.5 at most. Theres no dip in the middle of the back and his belly isnt sagging. He dont have the defined muscle tone of an older deer over 4.5. Tarsals are black and the hinds are big. Either way hes a good deer and he'll be a great 1 this fall. Nice to see he made it through. Good luck getting him this fall!
