Hello, I am new here but have been involved in a Co-op management program for about 5 years now in Jackson County, Texas. I have not shot a buck that was not a spike since being in the program and have seen improvements. So good I'm getting spoiled and only looking to shoot bucks that have reached their peak 5.5-6.5. I have been questioning my judgement in this bucks age and want some other educated opinions. Hes a nice 10 point but i dont think hes reached his peak. From his body I guessed 4.5. What do yall think?
Here is the photo album, file is too big to put in the thread. You might have to zoom in, I was about 250 yards away.

Toosmall of a picture from too great of distancefor my old eyes to make any kind of judgement as to the deer's age.

Is there anyway to zoom in on my IPhoto and then put it in the message? The quality got worse when I uploaded it.

Here is the close up. Hopefully it shows up.

You can't possibly age the deer from the photo. However, in my vast experience I can eliminate the yearling age class.

I would guess 3.5.

I would say 3.5 to 4.5. I don't think he has reached full potential, I think he will definitely be bigger next year.
