GREAT POTENTIAL! trail cam pic! Guess Age?
 
Here is a 5x6 buck I recently got on the trail camera in Kansas. What age do you think the buck is? Looks to be a 2.5, but nonetheless could be a monster in a couple of years.

Based on the body I'd say 2.5.. Rack makes me think 3.5 but either way in a couple years he will be a buck of pure beauty.. Even next year he'd be super nice.. I know alot of people that would take him just the way he is.. lol

Good Pics...

I'm going to say 120ish and 2.5 at the oldest.

I think he looks to be a very SOLID 2.5 yr old, with a GREAT rack for such a young buck. He's close to 130" gross, but I'd bet 2 yrs will give him a legitamate chance to be a BOONER!!!!

I'm gonna say that's the coolest 2.5yr old I've ever seen.

I think he'll score (Or..."I" came up with) 123-4/8"

The part of IL. I'm from that is a 2.5yr old all day long. That buck is going to turn out to be something special in two more years will have a chance at B&C.

Looks like a 2.5 body but he has some huge horns.. He definitely has a ton of potential.. For where I hunt some 4.5 year olds dont get that big of horns..

The hard part is going to be getting him to stay on the property and notgetting killed by another hunter. One good thing is that I already shot my buck for thisyear, so I will be able to stay off this property and maybe create a safe haven for him and hopefully get a crack at him in the years to come.....

Everyone who replied to this thread calls this buck a 2.5 year old besides myself. The body tells me 2.5 but the rack just seems no way possible It could be a 2.5. Like a few have said on this thread this buck has excellent genes. I may have to re think my decision and go along with everyone else on this. I guess I'm not use to seeing a P&Y buck at 2.5 years old, It don't seem right but I do know it's possible. The rate that this thing Is growing he'd be a booner In a couple years easily If 2.5 Is his rightful age.

He's pretty thick and well muscled for a 2.5, but you boys out in the midwest get some really big bodied deer so he could very well be 2.5. If he is he is gonna be a stud in a year or 2. I'd say he scores in the mid 120's.

low to mid 130's and a 3yr old buck. If you could restrain yourself, I would let him walk for this year, he looks to have great potential for next year.

Here is another good 2.5 year old buck with good potential....

2.5 sounds about right. He's certainly got some great potential!

Wow, if he can make it two more years, he'll be a freak for sure. I go 2.5 as well on the age. Next year he'll be tough to pass up, with his rack the way it is now, I don't hink 20"-30" are impossible for him to grow next year, and with the number of points he has, he'll look even bigger.

That is going to be a stud ofa buck in the future.

I lean heavily towards 2.5 and looks to bein the 120's maybe 130"

I say a 3.5 year old buck he just don't have the rutted out neck. He has a good body on him look at the front brisket. Thats a older deer than 2.5 for sure.

Id say, 2.5 pushing 3 at the very most. If around three, he was an early drop.

i'd shoot him!

I'd say he's 3 1/2 and would score low 130's.
