2-2.5 yrs old.

RE: Age this Buck
 

I will say 4.5.

RE: Age this Buck
 

I've heard that the rack size actually starts coming down after they peak and get older. Not sure if thats the case here or if its just food related. I'd say at least 3.5...

RE: Age this Buck
 

It would be a good 1-1/2 or a 2-1/2 around here (southern Indiana)

well how old is it. Looks like a big body compared to the rack. Tough guessing those texas deer. If it lived here I'd go with 2 1/2, but I'll say 3 1/2.
