I'm not expert but I would say 3 1/2 or 4 1/2. Thats just a guess.

RE: How old is this deer?
 

based on lack of extra skin under his face , but a nice sag in the stomach , i would go with 3 1/2

RE: How old is this deer?
 

That would make me about 14.[8D]

If he were in my woods he would be approx....

T-minus 6 days old :D

RE: How old is this deer?
 

three and a half no doubt. he has all the features of a quality deer. just think if you dont get him this year what he will be like next year!

RE: How old is this deer?
 

3.5 years old would be my guess too. Nice buck. Very good buck in a year or two. Great picture!!

If thats a michigan buck I would say hes 2 1/2 to 3 years old.

It is a Michigan Buck.. But now from LOWER michigan where they barely ever have any snow and have grain fed giants.. This is the Far upper western end of the U.P. We have NO agriculture up here and the winters take there share. ANter Growth on this end is not up to par.

I'd guess 3.5 but probably 4.5

That's a swell buck for the north woods.

41/2 + based on the sagging back. Not many 3 year olds have a sagging back in my area. His neck does look a little skinny for a 4 year old deer, but then again, this is a summer pic, he hasn't begun to bulk up his neck muscles yet.

I would have to say 3.5 or 4.5 as well. His face looks a little narrow, so I might lean towards 3.5 years of age, but I am not familiar with the size of the herd in your area. I would wait at least a year and then harvest him and check his age by looking at his teeth.

I dont think he'll make it through the season.. someone will most likely shoot him.. I dont know anyone from where I live that wouldnt shoot him.. Thats the sh*t i have to deal with

RE: How old is this deer?
 

I would put my money on 4.5, I have personally never seen a deer younger than that have that much sway in his back and that big of a gut. His neck isn't swollen b/c he hasn't began to build it up yet.

I would go with 3 1/2 but I'm supprised you saw him. Usually after 2 years they get realllllly smart and you don't see them. At least not around here. Nice rack hope you get him.
