Guys, i need your help!
 
Give me your thoughts on this buck, age-wise.

I have no past history with him.

Either a monster 2.5 or a nice 2.5

My guessestimate is 3.5. Outside chance 4.5, not likely but i'd guess 4.5 over 2.5 if they were the only two choices

understand I am use to GA deer, but from your photos and other guys from your area I have him at a solid 3 1/2

I've never seen a 2.5 yr old deer with that kind of body. If you showed me that deer with the headgear blurred or removed....I'd say 3.5. I still will. No back sway to him....but he's a deep bodied deer. I'll say 3.5.

I'm guessing 3 1/2. Too big of a body for a 2 1/2, not saggy enough belly for a 4 1/2. JMO.

What?:D Like saying she was fat or a little over weight[8D]

I think he's a fat 2.5 year old, I see very little dip in his back.

3 .5

OKbowhunter20 11-24-2008 05:20 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
3.5 was my initial thought

3.5 ... Can't wait to see him next year when he can focus on antler growth.

Scott/IL 11-24-2008 05:29 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
I'm going to go with 3.5.

I just shot one this past Sunday during theshotgun season with a similar bodyto that, but a smaller rack. I had him aged and he ended up coming out as a 3.5 yr old.

Double Creek 11-24-2008 05:51 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
Tough one, looks to be a tweener...... He has characteristics of both 3.5 and 4.5, but based on where you roam, I'm gonna say 3.5. He does not have that race horse look of a 3.5, but his chest and butt don't look quite like a 4.5 either, although his neck does flow right into his chest..... yeah, 3.5.

TEmbry 11-24-2008 05:52 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
when compared to my 2.5 from Sunday, he is a 3.5 no doubt. LOL

I could see him being an oversized 2.5....but more likely a 3.5 deer.

125py 11-24-2008 05:54 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
i am guessing a 3.5 yr old with not so great genetics

loogout1 11-24-2008 06:03 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
3.5.

BigDaddy12t 11-24-2008 06:15 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
I would say 2.5, but then again, I am not very good at this.[8D]

crabclaw 11-24-2008 06:16 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
I have to agree with 125py, looks like some poor genetics.

NY/Al 11-24-2008 06:25 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
he will go 3.5 all day long.

4.5

Kelly/KY 11-24-2008 06:33 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
His body is saying 3.5, that'd be my guess


silentassassin 11-24-2008 07:03 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
I would say he is at least 3.5.

cjohnson664 11-24-2008 07:08 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
3.5

jmbuckhunter 11-24-2008 07:13 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
I'm saying a well fed 3.5 year old.

ryncam16 11-24-2008 07:17 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
Id have to go with 3.5 as well nice sized deer The backs not swayed yet. He doesnt look very old in the face at all

RobinAim Low 11-24-2008 08:01 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
3.5 old. body and antler base diameter are too big for a 2.5.

2 Lunger 11-24-2008 09:33 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
3.5 and he needs to go given the chance.

Cougar Mag 11-24-2008 10:20 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
Either 2.5 or 3.5:D.

I disagree about the poor genetics. If given the chance he could be a 150" plus buck in a couple of seasons.

Schultzy 11-24-2008 10:34 PM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 

My guessestimate is 3.5. Outside chance 4.5
Me agree with this.

blocky looking 3.5

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
Mike, ill go out on a limb and say 3.5-4.5 He has the sag in his belly, and heavy chested, not much in sway back so most likely 3.5. I think 2.5 is out of the question IMO. I think he just got short changed a little on the head gear. Very nice though, ;)

cooter144 11-25-2008 07:55 AM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
I think he is either 2.5 or 3.5.

His neckdoesn't lookvery swollen to me which would be typical of a 2.5 yr old.

Young looking face too.


Canuck33 11-25-2008 08:02 AM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
good 2.5 average 3.5, either way a good looking buck that needs the pass to next year and he has the potential to blow up into a beauty brow tine buck

kickin_buck 11-25-2008 08:08 AM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
I do believe he is a 3.5yo. He has the sag in the belly, but no back sway and the neck is a little small for a 4.5yo. He might never be a booner, but his bone will be bigger next year for sure. The one thing I know for certain, if you shoot him, his rack will not grow another inch.

NCBloodtrailer 11-25-2008 09:46 AM

RE: Guys, i need your help!
 
big browtines on that young deer...i say 3.5 years old, no younger 4 sure
