Thoughts on this guy….Updated.

Should have killed him this year but let him go.

 

[Mr.Bro]

I'm sure you were really tempted.
Marsal glands still black.
Home grown!

Pretty nice buck for a youngin. Not sure what that crazy rack well look like in a year but it could be interesting. Or maybe it'll just stay the same!

He’s not a young one.

Still after young does at my house. Unbelievable.

Good choice passing that young feller.

How old? He’s not young.

Hard to tell this time of year but guessing 2-3 years old.

Here he is Oct 9th. Still think 2-3? I’ll try to find better pic.

 

[agelessssone]

Dang! I've seen one like that twice this year.
Was gonna take him during rifle, but never saw him again.
What county is this?

You asked thoughts from a February picture. He looks 2-3. October pic looks 4.5. That is why i said it is hard to tell this time of year.

Right. I said he wasn’t young. Lol He’s probably gonna be top of the list next season. He has been a bully all year. Pushed a couple other 4yos out and they never returned.

Near Clarksville.

 

[agelessssone]

Hmmm, seems a tad far from me.
I know they wander, but it's 24 miles from me in Sumner county.

Lol, I wish he had left and never came back. The other mature bucks had better racks.

 

[agelessssone]

The one by me has had the same rack (just larger this year) for the last two years.
Had one like it in Illinois back in the early nineties. Saw him three years running, same area.
Finally took him out as an end of season freezer stuffer.

I can see the confusion. The video looks like a healthy young buck, not a run down ragged old buck. I don't doubt you for a minute but if that video was all I had, I'd guess the buck is a perfect example of a late season 3.5yr old.

That's what I think now after seeing the earlier picture. In the video I would swear 3.5.

 

[backyardtndeer]

I would put him at 3.5 based on the video. Really is a bad time to try to guess ages on deer . Maybe you can kill him and check his teeth this next season.

Update….he’s still around. Fairly certain he’s 6 this year and one of the primary targets.
