Judging age by body weight

[iowabucks]

I got a couple pictures of one deer in particular that has a massive neck and chest. He is definately mature. Not the biggest rack in the world though.

Just wondering what everybodys guess would be for an age on this tank of a deer. I'm sure it's the same deer from the patch of bad hair over the left hip.

Past prime: ridgeback, withered hindquarters.

Old and thats a great picture.

"mature"

I would have to guess 7 or 8 years old ,his best years are behind him. He has made it through a lot of hunting seasons.

Not very often you catch an old guy like that on the move during daylight, cool pic.

he's 5.5+ and I don't try to figure out the age any higher than that.
