Deep chest, pot belly, thick at the bases, I'd call him 5 1/2+

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

LOL Too damn funny that deer at MAX is 3, the neck is tiny, his eye to nose measurement is all u need to see, all mature whitetails will have at least 7" measurement. also antlers show nothing of a regressing buck, no width or short tines or mass that come typical with old regressing bucks, the front shoulders and brisket are all signs of a young buck. I am guessing just well fed  :chuckle:

I agree shane. when i first saw him the gnarly bases made me think he was old, but once i look at his body and face, i relized he is prob 2 1/2.. i cant wait to see him in 3 years though
