Age this deer for me, I am stumped..... I edited out the rack to not sway opinions one way or another.

I'd say a very healthy 2.5 year old buck.

my guess is an exceptional 2.5 or a mediocre 3.5.

2.5

I would have to agree, 2.5 to 3.5. Let's see the picture with the rack.

another vote for 2.5

i'll go against the grain and say 1.5 based on the body and 2.5 based on the face...

2.5 if this pic was taken in the last couple weeks. The belly isnt very saggy, and his neck doesnt seem to be swollen much. Looks to be big bodied, just not old. Quit holdin out, show us your rack.

Body wise he might be 3.5, but he doesn't have the neck of a 3.5 year old. Maybe he is a late sweller. I am saying 3.5. Could be older, but I don't think he is any younger than 3.5.

When are you gonna show us the rack?

fairly large belly, fairly squared chest, I am gonna have to say 3.5
