What do you guys think

I shot this buck years ago but I always wonder if it was a late born yearling and it's actually a not quite developed 2 1/2 year old what's your guys thoughts ..

That's a funky one. Nice set of Zebco holders you have there!

That is a cool rack, the rack isn't a great indicator for aging deer. If I were to guess, I doubt a 2.5 yr old buck would be have an eyeguard like that unless he had some serious potential. About impossible to really tell though judging on rack alone, if I were to wing a guess I'd say at least 2.5, after that it's all a guess.

Well Chris this is the reason for this post as I've shot alot of deer and  I've wondered if they have actually been 2 1/2 year old deer but just late born yearlings as it take a whole other year for them to be equal to their brothers,,, I know rack size and conditions matter from area to area but this seems to be not the usual 1 1/12 fro this property..

I think the property he came from might be adjacent to a nuclear plant.
