Age/score?

[Hollar Hunter]

He's a very nice buck but I'm thinking he's only 3.5. I know most all the bucks on the property besides the rut bucks that show up. Last year in this exact same area was a heck of a 2.5 yr old 10pt with the same sweeping beams. I'm almost certain it's him but having trouble convincing myself, so I'd like to hear y'all's opinions. Yes I know it's hard this time of year and his stance in all the profile pics makes it hard because he's leaning forward downhill in a hole. Need to make a decision quick! Season opens tomorrow...

I guess the summer pics kept me fooled as his body looked so small. Possibly do to his rack. I couldn't decide 3.5 or 4.5. Just when you think you got aging down pretty good.... Lol.... I've got several bucks that I know are 4 and 5 because I've kept up with them from year to year through the cameras and kept comparing him to them, but this guys body was nothing comparative in size to the other mature bucks I've had on camera all summer. Always learning

Body size and age are obviously related, BUT body size does not indicate age.

Summer time is also very decieving

That deer is a BEAST. Good luck on him this year.
