I killed a buck a few years ago that was 4.5+ that was only a five pointer. Had 21 inch beams and the bases were as big as I've seen around here, but had only brow tines and 1 little point.

No way 4.5
As small as his neck is I would say 2.5

Neck looks 2 1/2, but chest depth looks 3 1/2.

I am now triple guessing myself, I have said to no on pulling the trigger because I lean more towards 2.5 and my brother ( bluewaterbuck) thinks he is 3.5...others have suggested 4.5. I have passed on him once, if he is a 4.5 year old hammer is coming down.

I thought same but does his neck look skinnier because it's fully outstretched in that particular pic?

Maybe one of the late born tweeners. We get them on our place once in a while. Makes them hard to judge. Shows some signs of 3.5 some of 4.5. Awful big chest .

Ground check him then you will know for sure how old he is. I'd say its the same deer.

The more I look at him, the more I'm leaning towards 3 1/2.
Impossible to say if the summer-time buck is the same buck from a previous year.

Lets say he is 3.5 plus. Then back to my question of is this deer ever going to be more than a 4pt? Yes, I realize its impossible to know if he doesn't get another year to grow but is it possible that this IS his potential? In other words could he go from what he is now to something much larger from an antler standpoint? Even though its a good possibility he's had a 4pt rack his whole life.

Thanks for everyone's input! Hopefully get to see him up close this weekend or at least some better pics when we pull our camera's. Also just read your article in the October issue of Field and Stream BSK. For those that haven't seen its a great read on his 10yr study of rubs in relation to terrain and vegetation features. Very insightful!
