Can You Age This Deer??
 

I got pictures of this buck a couple months ago. Its hard to see after scanning the pics, but he did have a small rack starting to form. I would think he looks a little older judging by his muscle mass but I'm not good at judging a deers age. What do you guys think, and how much would you say his rack has grown since May??

I don't see a picture. Is it just me?

I can't even see antlers....... The deer looks young to me, don't expect much out of that one.... Sorry.

IDK. I cant age it but i can tell you its not a small deer. If that pic is from this spring then i believe he will be a good sized deer come fall. His frame and shape of him makes me think 2.5 or 3.5 at least in regards to NY standards.

1.5 come fall.

Looks like a good healthy 2.5 to me?

IMO he'll be 2.5 ths fall. His shoulders and neck look a bit thick to be any younger and certainly not big enough to be any older. If you down him this fall and can get his jaw out we'll be able to tell you more accurately.

I dont see any antlers

Healthy, young critter not much more than 2 to 2 1/2 years old. He has the blocky characteristics of a younger animal.

I could not make out the antlers though.
