Age this buck!?!?!?

4.5 plus sir. I hunt around the Mckenize are a lot. I have have a lot of pic of mature bucks I compared him to that I have killed and aged:at the bar

Hard to tell. He looks mature to me, but with his neck facing the camera harder to tell. We have a lot of deer around were I live. Compared to what I see in northern, and southern ky I would say he has to 3 mayb 4 years old. The rack doesn't look that big tho...

I looked your buck long and hard in the pic's Red and I still would guess him at about 3. He could be an older buck that has small nuts or something that's holding him back! LOL. He does have a deep front end but his lack of sway back, graying face, and belly drag don't give me much confidence of him being all that old. BTW, my brother shot a 21" wide 6 pt this week that will age out close to 10 years old. He field dressed 189 pounds and looked like he was every bit 10 years old. No telling how many hunters that old boy encountered in his life on public land.:laughing
