Well since I have no idea how to age a deer I thought I'd stop by and ask the experts!

Now to a beginner like myself the deer seems young just because of the rack, but like I said I have no idea what to look for exactly when trying to age a deer.

These are the only two pictures I have got from him all year.

I'm going to guess that he is a 2.5 or 3.5 year old. If he is a 2.5 year old he has really good genetics and if he manages to evade hunters, vehicles, diseases, and predators he could blossom into a great deer. You noted that you were a beginners so if you would be happy taking that deer go for it. But he has a great frame to continue to grow off of.

2.5 year old awesome genetics!

I'd say he is 2.5

While I have only shot one buck with a bow so far, I will hold out for the other bucks I have on camera so far!

I'll agree with either 2.5 or 3.5. Leaning more towards the 3.5.

IMO he is a 3.5 year old.
