Question
How old do you think this deer is? Also, can you give a rough estimate on what you think this buck would score. Its the biggest buck on my property in Ozark county. Thanks!

Stephen,

Thanks a nice Ozark Mountain buck!  It appears his neck merges with his chest at his brisket.  His chest sags below where his leg meets his shoulder. These are indicators the buck is four years old or older. I estimate he is four.  I rarely take time to accurately estimate a buck’s score – sorry.

Enjoy creation,
