Hard to say for sure from that pic, but he may only be a 2.5 year old.
I'm guess 3.5 good buck with a lot of potential to be a great buck .

Tough pass but you did the right thing in my opinion!
Carries himself like a younger deer for sure. Older bucks tend to have a more deliberate demeanor. Great rack though! One to watch for if he's able to get some age. Hanging out under stands doesn't bode well for getting old though.

Looks like he trailed you to your stand. Nice deer. He's lucky it was you and not me is all I can say.

Great buck Bushape! That is a tough pass with him so close and you hunting with a bow. IMO he is probably a 3-1/2 year old buck. He has full, thick body and a small brisket but no obvious top of shoulders hump. Wishing you and your family all the best this year!

After watching the video, I am more leaning towards 3.5.
