My best guess remains 3 1/2 or older.

Upon close examination, I'm not sure these video clips are of the same buck as the single still pic you posted in the other thread.

Probably just due to the single pic's pose, but the antlers appear significantly wider in the pic than in the video clips.
 
He's got a nearly complete rack almost two months early. That by itself would be incredibly rare for a 3yr old. But he's also alone, no bachelor group. That might be even rarer yet for a 3yr old. However, both those traits are common in old bucks. So I'm still guessing he's an older buck.

It wouldn't surprise me if his young look hasn't saved his life by getting a pass from hunters. Now he's at an age where all his peers are dead, hence no bachelor group of buddies. How long have you been running cams on this property? Any possibility you have older pictures of this buck to help determine age?
 
The videos make the buck look a little stouter, but I'm still sticking with 3 1/2. But then I have a rule about trying NOT to over-age bucks. I'm going to go with the oldest age I feel very confident about without going over (although the buck may be older).
