Wayne, 

Thanks for sending us the picture, it is always nice to see new deer appear on camera even after season closes. 

Unfortunately this buck is facing the camera so it makes aging a little difficult, however I think he quartering to enough that we can make a solid estimate. 

Looking at the belly line of this buck, it appears to be thin and sagging has not occurred. In addition to this the neck appears rather thin as it joins the brisket area. Also, the base of circumference of the antlers is smaller than his eye. These characteristics all point to this buck being 3.5 years old. He is a great buck to have show up for next season. 

Thanks for sharing!
