RE: Age this Buck???
WV bucks are hard to tell, I have seen mountain bucks in your area that have a small basket rack and are 5 years old.
That one could come from good stock and be 2, or a good ole mountain deer and 4.
I was shocked to see 2 year old full 8 points here in MD. Where I am used to hunting in Eastern Ky, southern WV, I see snaggly 3's and 4's at 2 years old.

RE: Age this Buck???
His body looks small to me, and he has a rounded forhead, instead of the big flat forhead many older bucks get, thats why I too lean torwards 2 1/2 yrs old. But I admit I am not the greatest at ageing deer.
