This dude looks a lot bigger than most deer on our place. How old would you estimate him to be?

I am trying to learn to age them on the hoof. I will tell you what I saw looking at this deer. I would also appreciate it if you could tell me what you saw to determine the age, as I am pretty much just guessing. Though he has a large frame body, his legs look really long. (Also, his rack is typical of a younger buck) What would you use to evaluate the age of this deer? Thanks.

Read the post stickied to the top of the Quality Deer Management section on field-judging bucks.

The pictured buck has a very small neck, much longer legs than his chest is deep, and small hams. Classic 2 1/2.
