Age This Buck...Took Out Rack
 
Take a look at the body on this buck and let me know how old you think he is. I took out the rack, because I think some people only look at it. Thanks for the help!

when were the pics taken and what state where they taken in?
Regardless he is a older buck. Pike

looks like he is ridin like an ol school dragster...so i say about 2.5-3.5
i am noticeing there arent any scent glands..apparent...on the inside hind legs... a doe maybe?

snewton_89 08-30-2010 07:10 AM

No, it's a buck. I took the rack out of the pictures. I was just wondering because I think he looks older. Fat belly, sway back. I'm located in KY and they were taken last week.

just like us, a deer has a "prime", after awhile the antlers will go back to being sad...sometimes heavy stress.ig a bully buck, or strange temps, change in diet can cause them to be sad as well.. so lets see, pm me i guessed already

being a KY deer and the pics taken last week im going with 4.5 years old aswell. Pike

broken arrow78 08-30-2010 07:45 AM

i would say 4.5 to 5 years old. just curiouse what did the rack look like?

snewton_89 08-30-2010 07:51 AM

I'll post pictures with the rack this afternoon. I was thinking 4 or 5 too.

mbruizer187 08-30-2010 08:41 AM

I say 4.5 probably, a little sway, thicker neck base, pot belly starting

Hunt4Life23 08-30-2010 01:13 PM

4 year old

RUNNOFT 08-30-2010 04:21 PM

The belly does make him look older but he doesn't otherwise appear that old to me...

If i guessed I would say between 2 and 8. :-)

vermont bowhunter 08-30-2010 04:24 PM

yea around 4 years old at 5 or 6 years they start to get that roman nose and pauchy belly like we do,,lol

FF/EMT 08-30-2010 06:09 PM

I would guess 4

snewton_89 08-31-2010 04:27 AM

Here are some pics with the rack...all the same deer. I really wish the tines would get longer, but I'm just not sure he has it. I thought he was 3, but after looking at the body characteristics I think he's no less than 4. Big brisket, sway back, pot belly, muscular shoulder. His face does look young and his legs look long too.
