Anybody wanna guess age?

[Nealmeally]

Planning on running this camera at this salt lick all summer. I'm gonna check it once a month. Several bucks there right now of various ages and I hope they stay. This buck here has split ears on both sides, so I'll be able to identify him easier.. He has a lot bigger knots on his head than the others. How old do y'all think he is, was, will be this season??












Pretty neat pic of 3 bucks. One with antlers still and the other 2 growing new ones..

Total guess on age: he is heading into his third year.

Cool pic with the buck showing dominance at the salt lick... and a buck still carrying antlers in April? What????? Awesome picture, worth of saving for sure

My guess is he is 4

That last picture is great. A buck still carrying antlers in April...wow.

Aging is a conplete guess right now, but I would feel confident that he will be at least 3.5 and very likely a little older.

At least 3.5 come deer season. Cool pics!

The way his ear is split appears to me like someone put ear tags in him and got ripped out.

I've seen quite a few deer with antlers still in April in west and west/middle TN. Is it that uncommon?

If i had to guess I'd say he is 3. Look forward to seing what he grows into

 

[Winchester]

Don't think he's over 3

3 would have been my guess as well -

I believe dropping antlers is a matter of nutrition - (I think I read/heard that someplace)
