Mature Buck? this one stumps me

[wtj43089]

What do you guys think? I was leaning on 3.5 but I am not sure. Here is an early picture of him.

Another early picture

Everything in the First 2 pictures says young deer but now ive got new pictures and im second guessing my self... I know the balloon up for rut but he just appears to be a little older.

If he is young I want to pass because I think he has great potential.

What do you guys think

I think he is matuire, likely 4.5 imo.

I'm still going with 3.5 buy I'm no expert.

 

[ShedderKG]

he looks mature to me also....4.5 for me

Great lookin buck! Awesome character

 

[Gladiator]

Looks exactly like my 4.5 I shot two years ago...they are a little thin early...4.5 for me at least.

 

[THA4]

kill him and find out.... definitely a shooter

 

[bowhuntr311]

Nice buck. Im going 4.5 aswell.

Poke a hole in him and tell us what he scores.

3.5 is a good guess I'd say. Nice buck

I think he's a 4.5. Either way, I don't think I could pass that deer up. Not only does he have a nice sized rack but it's got some really cool character around the bases/brow tines, and it's a really neat color. Shoot him!!

4.5 - sweet bases

 

[HoytMaster.com]

take him out man!!!

 

[jkratz5]

I would say he is a big 3.5 also. He would be hard to pass but I bet he blows up if given a year.

Well I hope he doesnt walk out in front of me. I want to give him one more year and he would be tough to pass. Ive seen a giant on this farm 2 out of the 3 nights ive sat it so im going to try to hold out for him or one of the other bucks Im sure are older.

 

[cedar creek]

Yep; a good 3.5 is my guess also.

 

[Tim Hull]

4.5. Will be waiting for the harvest photos. Good Luck

 

[GoneHunting]

He is at lease a 3.5, but I would guess he is a 4.5yr. old

 

[iowaqdm]

4.5 year old, Bases are too large for 3.5 in my opinion.

 

[Iowa Man]

I'd go with 4 yrs old the rack just makes him look a little older.
