I'm two margaritas deep, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'm guessing 4.5 or 5.5 years old.

Where was this taken at?

East of 35

Fayette Co

Agree, but leaning toward 4.5

Something weird going on with his brisket in the pic. He is either a healthy 3 year old or 4 year old. I would lean towards 4.

Appreciate all the input.

I was guessing well fed 3-4, based on him looking leggy

But I'm not great at this

OK. That's Bucky deer - the decoy the Game Wardens use in our county.

I can tell by the glowing eyes.

He's been around since about '96.

Much older than all the guesses.

Tell your buddy to move his feeder farther from the road. LOL









But, to your question:
I would say a well fed 3.5. Could easily be a 4.5 in SW part of the state.

The first step toward judging this guy is to cover up his antlers…

I am also 3.5 to 4.5. I'm leaning 3.5. His chest still looks thicker than his rear. Still has the racehorse look.

Brand new reel I saw today that seems relevant here (at least the first 20 seconds or so)...

He's 5.5

3.5-4.5

I'd go 4.5. Could be persuaded 3.5.

Definitely not trying to derail. This deer is what 6.5/7.5 looks like. Pot belly, thick, short-legged

lol better chance at 2 than 5.
