Only 2 years old

I'd have guessed 3.5 from the pic.  However, with mild winters, good feed, minerals and genes young deer can grow amazingly fast.  I believe the tooth data over my own eyes.  I have seen quite a few 2.5 year old bucks over the years that were 20-22", 4x4 (with and without eyeguards).  On the flip side, I once checked a small Wyoming 2x2 that I had already decided was a yearling, until I flipped down his lower lip and saw extensive tooth wear - he was lab aged at 5.5

That's crazy. Must have had two years with great feed and no stress.

It's a draw unit with not much pressure. So not much stress on him except winters.

Buck I shot in Wyoming in 2015, I was expecting him to be 4-5 years as well, ended up he was only about 3 years old

Lol I hope I end up with one of those baby deer one day. You get the big antlers and the meat isn't as tough. Best of both worlds.
