I know this isn't the best pic, but he looks mature to me (at least 3.5). I think he's slimmed down some post-rut making his beck look disproportionate and belly tighter. Or is he just fooling me because of angle?

he almost looks photoshopped. Neck and head are disproportionally large compared to body overall. Must be the camera angle, but that is one weird looking dude. If you ignore the neck and just look a depth of chest, the body looks at least 3.5, and prob 4.5

I would say it is the angle. Nice buck and very mature.
Thanks guys. I wasn't hunting this buck, but a buddy was and I hope I didn't steer him wrong.
I requested a better jawbone pic and will post it when he sends it.

I thought the same exact thing. Disproportional head/neck to body looked like to me. But the body does look to be 3.5+ IMO.

Bad angle but likely 3.5

His tines are longer than his legs = Mature!! haha, definitely a funny looking picture.

I just got a couple of jawbone pics sent to me, but I've asked him to send a better one of the lower.
He needs to floss. It's a Texas buck, which explains the corn.
I think 3.5 pretty easily, but I would like to see crest of back tooth. I'd also like to see jawbone in person. Looks like the closer side has more wear on premolars than the others, but I've having a hard time distinguishing dentine lines on molars on with these angles. In some cases I look to the crest of last molar as sort of a tie-breaker.

Nice buck, teeth say 4.5, and we all know that's a minimum age.
