He looks pretty young to me but I am far from an expert. Hoping he has a good couple years of growth coming up. Then again if i see him next year he won't be growing anymore.

Im gonna take a shot in the dark and GUESS 3-4 years old. I definately a rookie at judging bucks ages but sometimes I get lucky when I guess. Im just used to shooting the first legal buck I see.

3 OR 4

3.5

He still has his baby face. Give him two more years and he will be very impressive.

5.5 or 6.6 I'm not going to dinner if he is being served.

Bigtine96 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 22, 2012, 08:05:15 PM »

Then you can eat a salad

That buck is 3-4 years old

4.5 based on your camera date, 3.5 in real time.

3.5 was my guess as well. He just hast filled out yet. There is no shortage of food in the area so he's not missing any meals

C-Money · « **Reply #23 on:** January 23, 2012, 09:53:29 AM »

3.5 - 4.5? He does look young. Very impressive antler growth, he is a dandy for sure!

Kowsrule30 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 23, 2012, 01:00:13 PM »

3 1/2.... Look at the narrow face...... Not filled out at all.....

Houndhunter · « **Reply #25 on:** January 23, 2012, 02:36:01 PM »

I hate how people always say ".5", I don't say I'm 21.5 years old.... But I would say he is 4

PolarBear · « **Reply #26 on:** January 23, 2012, 03:02:29 PM »

It is because when the bucks are in hard antler it is the fall and they are an additional 6 months in age. When you live only a few years .5 makes a difference. As far as humans, I hate it when people refer to their kids as being "26 months" etc!

Kowsrule30 · « **Reply #27 on:** January 23, 2012, 03:04:27 PM »

Big difference...... Think of shooting a deer that is half a year old..... Then think of shooting a deer that is 1 1/2 years old...

Houndhunter · « **Reply #28 on:** January 23, 2012, 03:13:24 PM »

half year old is a yearling to me, still dont see the reason but to each his own. Guess it goes into the same category of counting eye guards

PolarBear · « **Reply #29 on:** January 23, 2012, 03:15:13 PM »

Man, you really need to get back to work bro!

hambone · « **Reply #30 on:** January 23, 2012, 08:06:48 PM »

tell you in 8 or 9 months shot his twin but mines eye guards were alot longer and a lot thicker in the chest thats when i hear from the game dept on the teeth i sent in

Yeah that may be, but when you were 3 years and six months you always get the half year in.
Now in a deers case they are born end of may through June. So by hunting season they are really only 5-6 months old and each hunting season there after add a year...1 1/2 , 2 1/2...and so forth. Since your a young man and i know that the younger generations math skills are lacking, I thought I would explain it a little better for you.

Hambone-what unit did you get yours in? This guy is in 124. I was trying to find his big brother or dad that I saw during late archery with some post season scouting. Didn't find the monster but he is a nice surprise.

...and I always add the half (.5) when talking about a buck in the fall. They are born in the spring and nearly full grown 6 months later. I just do it because it leaves less room for misunderstanding...

He's gonna be a bruiser next year, and even bigger the year after (if he lives). That's a young buck with great genes.

Good luck..
