Older buck in decline?

hard to tell but he looks relatively young still. i had a spike on my grandparents place years ago that looked real similar. sometimes they're just big bodied. he might be a stud next year!

Just a 3 1/2 year-old buck with a below average rack.

I was torn between 2 1/2 & 3 1/2, as in some pics he looked more 2 1/2,
in others more 3 1/2.
But suspect 3 1/2 is the correct answer.

He's an example of how wide the statistical bell-curve of possible antler sizes per age-class actually is. As I've said many times, for age-classes older than yearlings, the spread in any given location usually exceeds 100 gross inches from smallest to largest antlers in that age-class.

My post didn't post earlier, or I forgot to hit "post reply". But LBLman took the words out of my mouth.

Agree with BSK, a below average antlered 3.5 year old.
Yep, I agree. I don't think he's an old deer. He MAY be 3.5. I'd guess 2.5. Could develop into a stud in a year or two.
