I'm thinking 2.5 he doesn't that wide and not much of a belly. Maybe 3.5 bout doubt it. Could be wrong though

[monkeyman2269]

I think there's 2 different deer here but prolly 2.5

judging from the time stamps on the photos I don't think that it's 2 different deer.

As far as age goes I would guess 2.5

3.5

[Bigreed]

Also the middle picture is taken 1st. The last picture posted was taken second and the 1st picture was taken last

[Izayah12]

Yea id have to because of the time thanks for the opinions!

[stubby68]

bkln just wondering but what makes you say 3.5. I like to know what other guys to base age gusses on.

[chiefbkt]

2.5

[bkln]

they don't normally get 8 point at 2, just a guess.....plus the body mass... just saying, based what I have observed.......

[bkln]

Don't take this to court I have been wrong before :-)

There's many 2.5 year old 8s. Not uncommon... I shot a 2.5 year old 8 last Halloween and passed 2 this season a few weeks ago. They get there

Depends on where it it. I see them often in WNY

[growalot]

We have 1 1/2 8 pts...granted tiny racks . ..short tined but 8 points I go by neck shoulders and mass..3 1/2

[WNYBuckHunter]

3, based on shoulders and neck.

He's a good 2.5 or 3.5 really hard to tell without the deer or location deer history.

Hes from the suburbs of colonie

Nice deer! Back yard buck huh. I could see a light on in the pic. I know a guy who hunted in an area near but not in colonie... he used to pick and choose what bucks he'd take.
