How old is ths buck

Post by kythunter »

Okay boy's I need some help guessing this bucks age.
This is an Iowa buck, the picture was taken in early November.
How old do you think the buck was when the picture was taken?

3.5 maybe 4.5 I don't see enough mass for a 4.5 year old Iowa buck. Need better pictures to guess better :D

I've seen a bunch of Illinois deer age; looks like some of the 5+ year old deer. Definitely has some age on him. Definitely not 3; looks to beat up to be 4.

Following up on an old post.
The trial camera pictures above were taken November 1st 2016. I killed the buck on November 6th 2017.
Going by body characteristics and skull plate thickness we estimated this buck at 6 years old+.

As big as his body is I would think 6 years old. Brute

I killed several here in Indiana that field dressed well over 200 lbs. between 4-6 years old
