Any age guess?

[Charleston Treeman]

The club members are divided on how old this deer may be. I have included some pics of other deer in the area to give some perspective on development. Any guess on how old this fella is?

I’d say at least 4.5 years. Maybe older (lots older)...he’s got quite a belly.

It’s so hard to age at this time of year, but we hunt in the same area...that’s an old buck for here.

My first thought was the belly line, then the neck still hasn't blended into the chest, shoulders and hams about the same. That says a four year old to me, but I'm with cutman, unless you have history, summer bucks are harder to age.
