Thoughts on size and age of this deer?

[calebt23]

We have our opinions but just trying to get some different perspectives! (BTW His g2 on his right side is hidden in this pic)
Thanks and good luck this season!

Hell I'll throw a guess out.. 5 candles on the birthday cake and 158 net give or take 20" hahah

No sagging belly, no roman nose, no grey, no battle wounds, that I can see, on the ears/nose/throat/neck......I would guess no more than 3-4. Hope someone gets it before a vehicle does and somebody can age it properly. Regardless, good luck and be safe out there!!

I'm going with 4 1/2 as well. Not enough body size for a grain fed Indiana buck to be much older.
I give it 150 net once all the velvet is gone.

my buddy shot this one first day. He said it measured 160” and was a 3 year old.

That critter looks like he has mange!

[DMart1]

Only August so a little harder to tell but I'd say 4+ yrs..

[Jamie]

I would say 3 1/2. He looks young to me. Give him a couple more years and he will do good.

[calebt23]

I wish we could give him two years, but knowing where we hunt we are lucky he made it from last year. He may get 1 year from us if we have time to make a call in person.

3.5 or possibly 4.5 and mid to upper 140's

Didn’t know you could measure a deer that was still in velvet. Great way to start the season.

Looks 4.5 to me and will start to fill out soon. When he does he will sag a bit. A solid mid150's deer. I see good brisket, gray face, thick body, some belly and seems legs short but cant tell.

My thoughts as well except after looking at it more I'm leaning to mid 40's
