Looks young from the body size, but there is no way to tell from that picture and normally aging a deer is done by looking at their teeth!

Although size can help determine the ruff age of deer with sagging backs and such it is hard to do with just the size of the deer and Not knowing where they are from.
Texas deer are tiny compared to Michigan deer.
Average 2 year old here is about 150 pounds and add another 25 for a UP deer.
