Default Age of this one?

I got this guy a few weeks ago, and I'm kind of not sure how old he might have been. By the rack I would think that he's probably only a 2 1/2 year old. But by his body size I'm thinking at least a 3 1/2 year old deer. I never did take a look at his teeth. If he is just a 2 1/2 year old he had a huge body on him. I am guessing him at least 175lb or better. It was all I could do to drag him out my self and it was only about a 200yd drag. Let me know what you think.

That one's a little tricky for me, but I'd say he's 3 1/2. His neck is larger to the chest. Neck is larger due to the rut, but also looking at his belly. His muscle development lacks in the shoulder.

2 1/2 or 3 1/2? I'll say he's 3. LOL!

If he is a 2 1/2 I think he's got about the biggest body and neck I've seen on one.
