[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5666964, member: 20583"] Basically same as BSK pointed out, I look at ratio between chest height and leg length. If chest is as thick as legs are long, buck is mature. I also look at hind legs and rump. If rump is big as the torso with long hind legs, it's a younger buck. The older a buck gets the more he resembles a keg with stumpy stick legs. Over time and seeing lots of buck pics you'll begin getting a feel for age. Soon enough you'll be able to recognize general age almost as instant and certain as you do on other people. A fawn will look like a child. A young buck will look like a teenager. An early mature buck will look like an athlete. And an old mature buck will look like a tired old man. [/QUOTE]
