Default Age?

I am new at the trail cam thing. This is the first buck that I have managed to capture on it. Can anyone give a guestimate on age? I know they aren't very high quality pictures but not too bad for a 50$ walmart camera.

I say atleast 3.5...our 2.5y/o's just dont carry that much mass or tine length w/o a little help He's got almost as much mass and more tine length than my 4.5y/o on the wall does. and awfully muscled up to be a 2.5y/o.....if he is, he's the biggest body and rack (mass and length, not points) Ive seen from NC....you guys are used to thos big midwest deer.

So far we have replies from somebody from OH, IL, and WI saying he's 2.5.....have you guys ever saw our NC deer? a 4.5 y/o around here will generally be 100-120"....120" being a great deer....You guys from the midwest are used to big deer. Why dont you understand that? I have worked check stations before and pulled jaw bones....2.5y/os here generally dont carry that much mass or body weight. Ive seen some 2.5y/os that are wider and maybe 8 or 10pters but not that much mass or weigh that much.
