Thoughts on age - South Texas

How old is this deer? (Middle then eats protein on the right).

This is a pic of him last year.

You sure that's the same deer? I see the split ear but the protein deer looks younger to me.

I’m almost positive it’s the same deer. He tore his left ear during the rut last year (it’s torn in the picture) and the deer in the video has the same tear.

Whaaaaat?? Does that mean he’s going uphill, downhill or sideways? LOL

Terry, it means I suck at aging deer by a few pics. This is a great example . I know I suck yet I'm way better at it than most folks.

Just pulling your leg Steve. We all know how pictures with no history is like throwing darts at the age board. Getting close is all you can expect without the birth certificate.

A few more pics from last week. Any other thoughts on age?

[GarGuy]

Man that's hard from those pics

[Mexico]

That deer reminds me of a one we had that was 13, but looked 5 for years and years. Good luck with him.

Looks 5-6 last year, in the video that’s a nice 3 year old on the left

I'd say 5 last year. Doesn't look 5 this year. Maybe he needs to put on some more weight and get his neck swollen up and I'd think he is 5 or 6 this year.

[JBJTX81]

Maybe he was 8 least year and is starting to decline in dry year???

5 or 6 this year
