Question
Dr. Grant. What’s your guess on the age of this deer? I think he’s 4 but I’m not too sure. Would like a professional’s opinion!

Dustin,

That’s a very nice buck!  His shoulder and ham appear well developed. His neck merges with his chest at his brisket.  His chest sags below where his shoulders meets his legs.  His back and belly both appear to sag and there’s a hump over his shoulder.  This buck shows many signs of being four years old or older. He’d be on my wish list!

Enjoy creation,

grant
