Age this Hill Country Buck

Bump this back up, I know what I think, but I like hearing all of the different opinions. Look at the YouTube video if you haven’t yet, it’ll give you a better idea.

He’s hard horn in the video. I don’t have any hard horn pics of him.

I’m still saying he is old, 6+. What do you think after the video? I think it confirms it.

[Chad C]

He look 5+ to me.

Looks old in pic and video. 7+

A had a few trail camera pictures of him before season and was pretty sure that he was a 3-4 year old. I Couldn’t find any pics from him from last year though so I wasn’t 100% sure.
Fast forward to opening weekend and he’s munching corn 15 yards from my bow blind. I can immediately tell by his brisket and shoulders he’s older than I think. I watch him and video him for 15-20 minutes and have watched the video multiple times.
He doesn’t have a neck to him, and his body is pretty small, but the brisket, shoulders, and face say he is a very old deer. I have no doubt he’s 6+. I’m going to watch him once the rut hits and see how his hocks and neck look then. I’ll update when I get more video/pictures of him. I don’t plan on shooting him, but may get one of my parents to if I still think he’s as old as I think now.
