    Help me age this deer.

    This was on my trail cam last week. The first pic I got of it last week I just past it off as a younger deer, but this week when I checked the cam there were several more pics of this deer from different angles. To me he sort of looks older but I dont know. His gut is sagging and he has that lump of skin on his brisket like an older deer. I know its early to start picking out my buck for next season but I was just thinking ahead. So help me out because if it comes do to it I will have to debate with the folks on the lease since he as of right now only appears to be a 6 point.

      That is a tough one. I would say around 3yrs. His gut is sagging, but I think it is just grass belly because his back still appears pretty flat. It might just be the angle he is at though. Also, his head looks too narrow for an older deer. JMO. Do you have anymore pics?

        Looks young, looks like he's been eating well but the picture is to far away to tell much else.

          Probably 4 - 5 but could be post-mature. Thats no 3 year old.

              I say at least 4...his brisket and belly are sagging pretty good. It is hard to tell from that pic though.

                    im no expert, but his legs and snout still appear to be elongated, relative to the rest of his body. I agree that his gut is sagging like an older deers would, but I have to think that this deer isn't a mature buck yet.

                      at least 4 or 5, chest has a little sag as well as his gut. His back is starting to have a little drup as well.

                              3-4 he has a big belly and brisket but that back is not sunk down enough to be older then that. IMO
