Looks lean to me in the legs....2.5? No belly sag but his neck looks pretty good but that may be a result of the posture at time of pic.
As I just reread my post, that should not help you at all!!!
When’s the antler reveal?!?

Actually you are right on the money. I will add some clarification to your post.

His legs and rear quarters are a little thin , but the front quarters are very muscular. and his chest is good size. 11/2 year olds dont get those rippled  neck muscles or the thickness this buck has. He does not have that youngster look on his face or his eyes. He looks like a very mature 2 1/2 year getting that square headed profile.

Should probably pass him was convincing myself he was older, that why I asked for the non bias opinions.

You must have a wall full of bruiser bucks to pass that buck up.

I think the pics with the rack make hm look younger! He’s gonna be sweet next year if you can hold of...I probably would have shot him last year!!!!

Must be better than NY thats why you are willing to pass it :cheese:

 

It’s a long season I have until February 7th this year in Ohio and it’s a one buck state so I am more willing to take the gamble. I have gotten a lot of nice bucks on trail cam over the last three years but they are really nocturnal down here my brother shot a big bodied 7 point the first year and I got a big bodied 6 point last year off my 20 acres. If it was the two weeks I get to stay at our house up in 9j I would shoot him for sure. I was convincing myself he was older to justify shooting him but I think we will try for the fatter 8 or see if something comes along that is better.

Honestly to me the first buck seems 3.5 yrs old. Light ass end and heavier in the front. Legs at 3.5 wont look short but just right or a touch long as he hasn't filled out in depth of body in the rear. 1.5 would have no muscle development. 2.5 is closer but still not that race horse look.

Second buck seems older and filled out more despite smaller rack. I'm late to the party and reveal I know.
