Question
How old is this buck i want to kill bucks bout 4 years old but i think this buck is bout 2.5 to 3.5 but im not fully sure

Connor,

Thanks for posting!  The angle of the picture is a little difficult to see the entire profile view, however, I believe an accurate estimate of this buck would be 2.5 years old. It appears that the ground slopes from back to front on this buck.  With this angle and lay of the land the deer looks older than what I truly think he is. The bucks neck looks large but this is due to his head being lowered in the photo. This buck will soon develop larger shoulders and look very front heavy. 

Growing deer together,
