Age These Bucks

Curious what people think on the age of this buck?

Going out on a limb here as I'd like to see him looking forward, but I'll say he's 55. Maybe 6.5

In KS he'd be 2.5-3.5. Looks well fed but young

Thorton may be closer. I didn't look to see what state you're from. Y'all's deer are much bigger than ours. I was going off the square body and the brisket. Neck seems to tie into his chest like an older buck, but it's hard to tell when he's looking away.

3.5

not a great photo, have any more of him. I want to see his face and full chest without his leg up.

Thanks for the responses! I planned on posting more photos but am new to the site so I wasn't sure how initially. I think I have it figured out so I plan to post some more photos of different bucks. I unfortunately don't have any other photos of this guy. In the last year or so I've been getting more into deer mgmt, aging bucks etc which is why I was curious what others thought. I initially thought he was an older deer due to body size, but then was leaning more towards 2.5-3.5 due to some other characteristics. I am in southern Wisconsin and surrounded by agricultur which is probably contributing to the size.

I am leaning towards 3.5 yo. He could be a bulked up 2.5 yo but the length, small butt, and rounded chest say he's a tad older.

Yerp 3 years

Pretty sure those are two different deer.

I agree with herdmanager. My first thought was that they are different deer. No idea on age.
