I'd say 3.5, this year. Just my guess.

3.5 Just a guess from me too though.

Hard to tell. In the 3rd pic I thought 3.5 right away. But in the last pic he looks a tad younger.

I'dsay 2.5. Could very well be 3.5 though as he has a full body. It depends on the area,cause in some areas the deer get bigger faster depending on the genetics/food sources. He's got a big chest, but his belly still tucks up a bit as you can see better in the 3rd pic.
