Age This Buck #37

From the middle of November to near the end of the 2022 season, this IL buck was very visible. What do you think that means? He’s young and inexperienced? or perhaps old and over confident?

Based on the video clip and trail camera videos you see below, what is your best age estimate for this whitetail buck?

I believe this buck to be a 3.5-year-old. The main factors I was looking at on this one was the leg-to-body proportions and the neck size.

With a well-defined nose, pointed ears, and a taut stomach with a level back, this buck is a well-muscled four-year-old. Another point is there is virtually no stain around the tarsal glands.

This if one of those bucks that I believe could be either young or old. I feel like it’s a deer that could fool you if you think it’s young, or he could fool you if you think he’s old. To me, he doesn’t look like he’s that old, so I’m going to go with 3.5.
