Dear Grant, I was hoping that you could tell me how old this Massachusetts deer is?

Hunter,

That’s a good looking buck!  Thanks for including where the buck lives.

It appears his neck merges with his chest above his brisket and his shoulders aren’t fully developed.  Its tough to be certain due to his posture but it seems his back and belly don’t sag.  

I estimate this buck to be 3 years old.  

Enjoy creation,

grant
