Another how old....

Ok, I am posting this cause basically I suck at it. This is the best buck I have on cam this year. He is a 5x3 with mabey not a trophy rack compared to some. Me I am shooting this deer all day long lol. But here is my question, how old do you guys think he is? I am putting him at 4.5 yo but then again like I said before I suck at this. To me he has all the signs as a mature deer. What do you guys think, plus I think it is a great pic of him.

3.5 yr old... not filled out enough to be 4.5

yup, snapper is correct. He is a solid 3.5yr old buck. Nice deer.. Hard to let that one walk... Good luck, I hope to see a pic of him in your hands.. Shoot straight..

I'm more interested in the Tasco trail cam
 
What kind of Tasco is that?
Remember if the rack looks good, it looks real good to the 16 year old hunter on the next property.

A strong 2.5 or a weak 3.5 year old....what state are you in?

I am in western new york. here is a 1.5 yo in the same spot just facing you. Looking at the other one, the way his belly saggs, dip in the backbone and his chest looks deep and we arent really in the rut at this point. Thats kinda why I was putting him at 4.5.

Valentine, cant remeber what kind it was but it was $50 at walmart. great pics and it even takes a pretty good video that I dont know how to post.

When they look mature i ,m lousy at it too. I,d go 4.5 cause of fold at rear of belly sag and folds at neck /shoulder. Were antlers one more click towards ears i,d bet a nickel on it! Let us know after you do the deed on em.

It looks like it is a Tasco 3 megapixel
They are great cameras.
They make great night time color pictures .
And great day time videos.

i would say 3.5 and as a fellow new york hunter i know what you mean. by me that buck would be the talk of the town for our hunting season. good luck, hope you get him
