Love this deer's antlers (age?)

[Bushape]

Anybody see any characteristics that make you think other than 3.5? I'd love to say I'll let him walk with my bow but I know when rifle opens my other club members won't think twice. Hard to tell by these picks but his antlers are almost red.

Date of pics? I agree he looks like a 3.5

He looks 2.5 to me. Could very well be a skinny 3.5 year old, but he sure doesn't look a day over 2.5

Looks 3.5 to me.

3.5, maybe late hatched 3!
That small neck is all I need to pass

Body characteristics looks 2.5 to me, if youd posted without antlers more would say 2.5

3.5 or less, but beautiful buck!

My thoughts exactly, possibly a tweener.

Tope end 3.5yo

The most targeted buck in the woods in a lot of areas. Enough rack to get a lot of hunter's attention and still naive enough to walk around in daylight, thus usually does not live much past 3.5.

This is the hardest buck to pass, and the easiest one to be happy you did next year on.

Yeah would love to see him next season. Love the club I am in but kind of lax on deer management. Couple of other good bucks on the same field that I may make my target deer but this deer would be my biggest ever, especially with a bow.

He looks like a 2.5 to me. If he makes you happy, sling an arrow if you get a chance. Good luck!

Since this is your best buck ever, then take your best shot. If he eludes you this year, then you will learn a lot and you get to try again next year.

Red antlers and all .
