How old do You think this buck is?
I got a picture of this 9 point last night. It has a pretty big body. I'm having a tough time figuring out what its age might be. The rack is just average, but the body just looks big. I'm thinking 3 1/2. What do You guys think?

At least 3 1/2 could be older. Some wrinkling in the skin on his neck, big front shoulders, legs proportionate to his body (they don't seem long, almost seem short). Around here that would be a 4 1/2 year old deer but in Ohio,they get bigger quicker so he probably is 3 1/2.

Alright so it probably a 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 year old deer. I'm guessing it would field dress around 180, but what do You guys think the rack would score. Sometimes them deer with the big bodies makes the rack look smaller. I was putting Him around 120 because of the lack of browtines. What do ya think?

Well I got another picture of Him. Something broke off His right G3. That kinda sucks. I actually think both of His brow tines are broke off too thats why they looked so short. There is a big does with Him, and it just really shows how big the body is on this deer. I'm thinking if it wasn't for the broken tines this deer may have scored a little better than what I was thinking.

you see how is skin kinda hangs loose, I think 4.5, and 3.5's skin is too tight. alot odf stuff broke of, right side g3 and g4 and both brows looks like maybe, would have scored around 125 I think.
