Buck Age Estimation
 
I hunt in Southern NY (Dutchess County) and this is the biggest buck I have gotten on trail camera so far this season. If someone could please help me out with an age estimation, I would greatly appreciate it. From seeing this deer in real life he looks like he weighs roughly in the 170ish Pound Range.

Any ideas? I have no idea how to judge them.

2.5 would be my idea

His stomach is not flat which happens 3.5 to 4

Stomach starts to sag after

2.5

At 3.5 their chest broadens by their brisket, at 4.5 they are even broader and start developing that bull looking skull, after 4.5 it's a crap shoot until they start declining and then you just say they're old. :)
