Guess this bucks age?
 
Any ideas to the age of this buck that I Got on camera? I'm assuming they are all of the same deer, I think they are.

looks like a 3.5yr old...his brisket isn't big enough for a 4.5 or older...just my opinion...good looking buck though. A little weak on antler mass.

Thanks for the reply, I was hoping he's only 3.5 so I can let him go for another year. He doesn't have great mass, but is a perfectly symmetrical 5x5 which is rare for this area.

Could be diet...could be genetics, or a dry spring/summer?

3.5 is my guess

hate to tell ya this but there are 2 different bucks in those pics. the first and third pics are not the same buck as the 2nd and 4th pics, the 1&3 pics are a 3.5 yo, the 2&4 pic are a 2.5 yo, definitely not the same buck

Unless you're into QDMA or are growing deer on your own property, I wouldn't concern myself with deer age. If you like him, shoot him.

That would actually be good news to me! I thought they may have all been the same because my trail camera has trouble picking up points at night so I thought that may have been the reason I couldn't count all 10 points on the second and 4th pictures. Thanks!

I walked right up to these deer.

I would say he is only a 2.5 from what i can tell with antler size and body size.
