Here's a good sideview pic of the backyard buck. Can any of you folks tell about how old he is ?
Thanks vaturkey :newmascot:
Hard to be sure. I don't see tons of fat on his head yet, but he has a good pot belly with good muscular structure around the shoulders. Hard to tell if his back is swayed. I would bet he is 4.5 maybe 5.5 at the most. A great animal.
3.5 year old deer.
Either 3.5 or 4.5yrs old. Probably 3.5 if I had to guess.
His back end still looks jacked up like a jackrabbit. I say 3.5.
I agree 3.5
I also agree, 3.5 to 4.5.
What little I know about aging deer I would have to say between 6 months and 6 years. ;D I have never been any good at the aging thing.
The best way to age venison is hanging it in a cooler after you skin it for 4 to 6 weeks.
4.5
I would say 3.5. Now in Iowa I'd say it's a yearling. LOL

Awesome buck. I would guess 3.5 or 4.5. He doesn't have that sway in his back, big brisket and a pot belly like those old boys. I would kill him in a heartbeat, but another year or more will make him a freak. Deer like that just don't tend to get age on them, too hard to pass that up.
Show us his teeth :TooFunny:
I guess 3.5 but would like to see a pic in about 6 weeks
As others have said, I too would say he is about 3.5 yrs old by judging from the pic.
He has a great rack but pointed weathers and slim in the neck to head area high in the hips He may be only 2.5 which will make him a great buck in a couple years . :icon_thumright: Just a guess !
