A buddy sent me this asking how old I thought this buck was. I’m thinking at least 4..maybe 5 plus? His belly seems to sag quite a bit. What do you guys think??

I'd guess no more than 4.5 yr. old IMO. Brisket filling out and small sag in belly but hindquarters has the classic racehorse look and a small slender face. Good deer id guess pushing the 160 mark. Good luck to him in his pursuit.

A real whopper nonetheless. Good luck in the chase!

Old enough....
All kidding aside, I'd guess 4.5 as well.

4. Go by the neck. It takes 4 to reach the bottom. Best way, plus the back helps. 4 will be at bottom, but straight to a little sump back. 5 will have good slump in back, plus the body width is larger. Hope the buck stays put in the next few weeks.

4.5 years old, doesn't have that old man look yet. Could be 5, but being in the golden triangle I would guess 4

Hell of a deer...like everyone else I'd say 4-5 years old. Likely no older and certainly not younger.

I just want to know when it got down to 46 degrees this month? Well, if HuntNFreak lives in the extreme northern part of the state then it is possible because we had 3 nights in a row that got that cool. My old man and I sat on the porch that evening with sweatshirts on. The mornings after were very foggy too.

I'd guess he's 5+. I think the way he is standing on a decline in the pic is throwing his stomach and rear end proportions out of whack. I bet if he was standing on level ground there would be a more noticeable sag in his topline and stomach. Pic looks like the front end of a 5+ and the rump of a 3 yr old to me. Just my $.02
