    Help age and score this buck.

    I had this buck show up at one of my feeders this past week and I have my own opinion as to what I think his age and score would be but would like to get a few others opinion. Thanks

    Looks like a three year old to me. Hard to tell from the two pictures. He's got that "East-Texas-I-ain't-really-happy-around-this-feeder" look.

        Looks like he might have already been hit high on that left shoulder maybe???? It's hard to tell, but both pics seem to have a mark in the same location. Then of course I could be completely wrong...

          good buck i think he's probably a 3.5 - 4.5 no older. he's got a pretty thick top but his legs are still pretty long compared to his body.it's hard to tell by the pics i need a profile view. he'll probably go 120. LET HIM WALK. IF HE LIVES it will be worth it.

            So far that has not been a problem.

              I am going to jump out on a limb here and say that deer is mature, at least 5.5.

              Now the pictures are not good for aging but, based on the look of his head, eyes, and extremely stained and dark hocks he looks mature. The second picture is of no use at all for this.

              Now I do not know your area or your deer but, if I had a gun to my head I would say he is sort of run down as it looks like he may have been rutting and stopped for a snack?

              Depending on body size I would say he is in the low 120's. If he is small then 115" ish. looks like he has decent beams and mass though along with decent eyegaurds.

              If you get any more pictures with a profile view from the side or any different views of his head, (pretty much anything other than a facing view would be nice!) please post it.

                    The first picture...

                    Looks like an old man in the face and the gray. Looks like he is past his potential


                    Then the second picture his face looks younger. Thick neck and shoulders.

                    I'm putting him in the 5 year old range.

                        5.5 probably 118-125 ,looks like a mature deer, compare with outher young buck pitures from same area though.

                          I'd say at least 4.5 and would score around 122-125". Depending on what type of deer you have around there(10 points or better) You might take him if you get the chance. Deer like that in my area usually don't get much larger as they get older. If you pass on him...he might be a 130" deer by next year.Just a guess.
