Stud East TN buck - Age Guesses?

[East TN Bowhunter]

Got him on camera 3 times in two days. Hoping this guy hangs around for a few more months! A good one in my neck of the woods. Would like to get yal's thoughts on age? Im thinking 4.5+

I suspect you are correct although his legs look long

He will be impressive once he fills out!

Hard to age accurately in summer, as many bucks are older than they actually look. I agree with your assessment. Best of luck with him this season.

Great buck , i could see him being 4.5! Thanks for sharing.

 

[BSK]

At least 3 1/2, probably 4 1/2+

 

[Union Co. Boy]

I'd agree on the 4.5. That is a dandy East Tennessee deer! Good luck with him.

4.5

Im thinking with his body and rack size he might be 5 or older.

I think that's an elk

Holy moly

Man that's a tall wide rack. Surely don't see one like that every season. Hope to see a picture of both of y'all together in the end lol

If you need someone to scare him your way, holler at me....I've been know to be heavy footed in the woods. Deer hate me, squirrels love me. I'm deadly

what model Camera? nice buck

Can't judge on most bucks this time of year - it's just a guess. On this one, I believe you're correct on 4.5+

Tactacam reveal xb just the standard non-hd pic sent to my phone. The pics and videos ill get from the sd card pull in a few weeks will be much clearer than these.

Hoping he fills in his browtine length a little more before season and wish he had that missing G3 on his left side but either way he would be real hard to pass in my area.

Unfortunately, browtines are the first tines to finish growing. And by that picture his are finished (tips are narrowed down to a point). But the rest of his tines are still getting longer (bulbous, dark shiny tips).

Not a chance in Hades I would pass that guy up!

Hard to say, body looks 4.5 or older until looking at his legs. He may just be a tall deer.

Did not know that. He's the best deer ive got on camera in several years. Im excited to get a chance with him. Getting pictures of him everyday right now.
