Question
Im here to ask you how old these deer is in the attached pictures are, I hunt a 500 acre area my grandparents own in Morgan county Ohio, only being 17 I have harvested several 130” deer but want something more mature and bigger.
I typically only estimate the age of one buck per question. I’ll spend some time analyzing the first buck (color pics).
This buck’s neck merges with his chest in the brisket area. There appears to be a hump over his shoulder and his chest sags below where his legs merge with his shoulders. These are all good indicators this buck is 4 or older. He’d be on my wish list! I hope you have a great encounter with him!
Enjoy creation!
Grant
