Deer Age

[MemphisDeerHunter]

Anyone have any ideas of age?

 

[Mcboom]

Not sure on age but definitely run down from rutting

 

[cbhunter]

I would guess 4.5 minimum. Hard
To say (for me) when they are run down that hard

 

[Ski]

I'd guess 4.5+ as well.

 

[backyardtndeer]

I would say only 3.5. Body shape to me doesn't look any older.

No arguing from me but I was thinking his hams are too developed for me to consider 3.5

Tough one....I'll guess 4.5.....but honestly it's hard to stop looking at those super main beams....love the wide frame and long main beams.....nice!!

Looks like a run down 4.5 yo to me. Nice buck.

Here is a pic of his brother

Most likely 4.5 , I will say, he looks very similar to a buck I harvested that had CWD. Not sure if you're in a CWD zone but their body loses mass like that when they are in late stage of CWD.

Freaking nice!! I'd be shed hunting that area!!

 

[tree_ghost]

Yeah I think run down 4.5 yo

Prob mature. But his condition is much poorer than what the rut would cause. He's injured or diseased. Very possibly no longer alive at this point.

I'm in Shelby county near Fayette county, CWD is rampant around here

My guess as well but he's a tad poor . Back is still pretty straight no swag .

 

[redblood]

if the date is correct, healthy but run down 4.5
