Question
i have this buck coming in my backyard im handicaped and i hunt there i think this buck is 4.5 years old what do you think and maybe a score comes in a night how can i get him to come out in shooting hours thanks for your input

Tim,

That is a nice buck!  It appears this buck’s shoulders and hams are well developed.  His back and belly seem to sag.  His neck merges with his chest at his brisket and his chest sags below where his leg meets his shoulder.  These are all signs of a buck that’s four years old or older.  This buck would be on my wish list!

Enjoy creation,
