Odd Looking Buck. How Old?

[Kirk]

I have never seen this buck with my own eyes. Have only caught him on my game cameras at night. He seems to be completely nocturnal. The rack is screwed up from some sort of injury.

Just looking at the body how old do you think he is? Same Buck in all three pictures.

3.5 is what I'd say on his age.

That deer is 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 years old at least. Look at the belly in pick #2 and the front shoulder in pic #3. Well defined & broad shoulders and a sagging belly indicates upper age class to me. Horns don't mean squat when ageing a deer from a pic!!!

3 1/2.

By the shape of that antler deformation, I bet he had a leg or body injury in the past.

I Know if I see him I'm killing him... I'd love to have a euro mount of him. I love the brow tines.

Looks 3.5 to me

3.5, It would be easier to tell with day time pics but I just don't see the muscle mass of a 4.5 or 5.5 deer. The stomach to me is just full and not sagging. if you look in pic three the belly is pretty flat.

 

[in the dog house]

no less than 3.5

i guess 3.5

 

[BONE-HEAD]

Guess4.5 probably going down hill

 

[skillet]

I'd say he is old enough to shoot.

nice buck

 

[TheLBLman]

My best guess is 3 1/2.
He is without question 2 1/2 or older.
He is possibly 4 1/2.

Should he survive another year, will bet you see a good gain in mass.

My kind of buck..a Homer buck! Like everyone else I believe he's probably 3.5 and a dang nice trophy. Like BSK said, probably an injury to the rear portion of the buck, leg or hip type thing

 

[buckmaster31]

3.5

Guess4.5 probably going down hill

He has a couple more years before he starts declining.

 

[J Chapman]

my guess is 4.5
