I looks like he is a 4X5, barely. But, it also looks like he's got a few more buds that might be tines next year.

I think he's a youngster who will have taller tines and more points down the road.

He looks like a decent 4-5 1/2 year old....looks like he has hit his peak in my opinion!

That buck is 4.5 - 5.5 years old???? Then he is a complete runt because our 4.5 year old deer are usually 230 pounds and have thick racks.

Maybe my 11 year old will shoot him.

I get one buck tag a year. If he's inferior, I wouldn't want to burn my only tag on him.

Its ok to use your only tag to take out an inferior buck in your hunting area.it will help to produce better buck in years to come.
