how old?
I know at least 4.5 ..take your best guess last year he was a 6x5...year before 5x4 this year??? maybe 7x6???
never saw him last year during daylight even on gamecam...this year lots of pics/video in daylight......hopin I get a shot with the new inline crossbow from Hickory creek
lotsa time for growing more bone..he was a 6x5 last year (he gets a sticker on his left g3 every year..look close you can see it here)
click pic for video

If you say you know hes that old then I guess he is but he sure doesn"t look to be at least 4.5. He has a pot belly that comes with 3.5 yr old but no sway in his back and a very thin chest. He also has alot of muscle seperation like a young deer generally does. If I seen him for the 1st time without any of your info I'd have said 3.5 tops.

He is a little strange looking. A little saggy back and belly, but he doesn't have the neck/shoulder/brisket an older buck should have. It may just be that he is relaxed, I would guess 3 1/2 or 4.

so by that thinking 2 years ago when I saw him he was a .5-1.5 5x4????????
and last year he was a 6x5....with several gamecam pics and I saw him when hunting with bow (way to far away for shot) that would make him a 1.5-2.5 6x5??
