It's a survivor. I'll post pictures of the headgear in a few days after you guys give me your best guess as to how old it is.

Full shoulders, flat back with no belly sag, and hocks not real black. 3.5 based on body.

Reason being there is no sway in the back and the belly line is straight no hanging down large gut. Also the hips do not seem to be as muscular or as wide as they should be on an older deer.

I'm another vote for 3.5. Same reasonings already laid out.

Looks like a decent sized body, but I’m going to go differently than the others and say a big 2.5 year old. Definitely don’t look like a big old mature buck as others have pointed out. Never know though with these deer.

I think 1 1/2 is a wee bit low. LOL

I am still sticking to 3 1/2 the body just does not have the tell tale signs of an older deer. If a deer has good nutrition and no stress they can grow big horns at a young age. I will stipulate it could be 4 1/2 but I am leaning toward 3 1/3

I'll hazard a guess of 4 yrs old and 170" class gross. Great buck, hope you find his sheds and get a crack at him this year.

I'm still leaning a good 3.5, but 4.5 is definitely a possibility. ( Definitely north of 160 and prolly close to 170 gross.) Beautiful buck.
