Age & Score This Hill Country Buck

[krkelso12]

Got him on the trail cam in early October this year. Saw him on the hoof once but he was across a fence on a neighbors property. Very impressive rack, but I thought he looked young in his body features. I figured about 3.5-4.5. I won't get back out there to hunt anymore this year, so hopefully he will make it another year and still have some growth potential for next year! What do ya'll think?

he will be high 50's for sure maybe higher than that. I say 4.5 he is thick from shoulders to brisket in first pic

3.5 and 158 nice buck for sure hope he makes it and getts good growth next year

[smeurer]

can't really tell on age, i think you're right with 3.5-4.5. I'm thinking upper 160's on score!

I think he's 3.5. Way too skinny of a neck to be mature. Next year he will be even better.

Brisket does nothing for me... Seen yearlings with the same size as his.. Not sure why people pay any attention to it.

Great buck! Gives you something to look forward to!

You can't judge a seers age by its rack,
But wow that is a good hill country deer for 3. I say 4.5 and 155
