Default 3.5 or 4.5 or 5.5?

What do you think?
I would guess 3.5 or 4.5, doubt he's 5.5+

I think the last pic might be him last year, not certain, in which case he would be 2.5/3.5yo, but not sure?

3.5?
4.5?
5.5?
other?

I am leaning more to 3.5. At 4.5 I would expect him to have more belly and back swag, and he has none. He has an awesome rack. I am going to say he is just a young deer with good genetics.

Also, if he were 4.5, with a rack that size, he would probably have better mass than he has.

3.5 thin tines for a mature buck. His belly is straight across and he doesn't really have that big hump in the front of him that a 4.5 or 5.5 yr old deer has. DANDY buck though. He's got amazing genes.. Good luck

I would guess 3.5 as well. And I agree that he is an exceptional buck with great genes.
