Looks 3rd rack in a tough environment or with a tough personal situation to me.

He looks like an older small bodied deer, but his ears aren't all ripped from fighting thru the years. Looks old around the eyes. He's a tough one to judge. Just my $.02

Body size. There’s no droop to his belly or back. Just looks like a young deer with good genetics to me. I believe this buck from last year comes from the same gene pool.

Nice Buck.
Long boring story but the short version is my connection in my bedroom TV quit getting TV so I been watching a lot of YouTube at bedtime and a lot of good folks on there with good info.
One guy did over an hour on aging really old Deer. 7.5 and up. He had some over 12 by the jaw bone and was talking about other methods.
If it pops up tonight, I will write down the channel and post it. He talked about Georgia a few times and had pics but I don't know if he's from Ga or not. Might have said and I didn't catch it.

He almost looks like he’s recovering from an injury or sickness

That is either a very young deer with a ton of potential or a starved 3-4 year old with a ton of potential

Not more than 4 for sure, in my opinion

No more than 3yo. Face and nose is too long to be a mature deer. Great deer too!

Is this a heard county buck? I don’t believe it can be a 2 1/2 year old because of main beam length. A 3 1/2 year old from some good ground would be my guess. If that were a mountain deer I’d figure it to be 4-5 years old

3.5 for me
2.5. He's a youngster with potential.

I don’t believe that one is terribly young.

This right here . That buck is young he doesn’t have the staining on the forehead of an older deer.. if he is in an environment where he can live for 2 or 3 more years. He will be a giant

Honestly, my gut tells me he’s a 3 year old recovering from an injury. I have a gimped up buck behind my house and he looks similar to the one above.

An older deer has a kind of skin colored ring around the eye a lot of times. That’s one giveaway I’ve noticed. They are usually 6 plus to get that.
@Gadestroyer74, I want to hear more about the head staining. I’m not familiar.

I agree. I don’t think the deer this thread is about is extremely young.
