3.5; Corn Bandit (aka: Coon)

Daddy Rabbit · 05-05-2012, 04:31 PM

4.5 and a dang ole coon

Kingslayer · 05-05-2012, 04:58 PM

Torn between 3.5-4yr old

super_dave · 05-05-2012, 05:03 PM

Prolly 3.

rtp · 05-05-2012, 06:15 PM

He looks to be 3 yr old to me. Always a guess, especially now through the summer. Once he thickens up in the fall he may looke everybit 4 yrs old. Not adding in the .5 since we are at the beginning of fawning season.

Coach W · 05-05-2012, 07:49 PM

All you guys sayin 3?

Pronounced Brisket, sway in his back...

What are y'all basing 3 on?

BOHICA · 05-05-2012, 08:25 PM

it is hard to age this deer, he does have a nice brisket, but very litt sway in his back, it he will be easier to judge later in the year. And that would appear to be a coon with him as well

Long lean body, small neck, and long legs

I can see that.

I was thinking skinny due to range conditions this year... But I definitely see what your talking about now.

Long lean body, small neck, long legs, brisket, and sway back... Goofy looking deer!!!

deercrazy · 05-06-2012, 07:54 PM

4.5,,and a shaved coon.

dontbwant to know what you boys are doing down on the farm

Its summer he's too lose in the brisket to be that young

Summer is too hard it's usually easier once we start getting a bit closer to October

mccarter · 05-07-2012, 11:47 AM

that deer is not 3, i bet he is 5 or older

LastHurrah · 05-07-2012, 12:48 PM

that deer is not 5, i bet he is 3 or younger

4-5

Agree... 3 yr old at best.

KRF · 05-11-2012, 01:05 PM

Sway back, Pot belly. That is not a 3 year old deer. He is older. Has brisket and broad nose, notice how his hind quarters appear to be thin, similar to an old man who can't keep his britches over his back side. My vote initially before reading any other post was 5.5-6.5

wcbarker · 05-13-2012, 05:57 PM

I guess 3 and a coon also

Cecil Bell III · 06-08-2012, 03:42 PM

now im going against the grain he does have a sway in his back a loose brisket and a slight pot belly for those of you that say hes three you have to remember this is a summer time pic of the deer he hasnt yet started gaining weight for the rut he is a mature deer probably 5.5

Kadda&Ben · 06-08-2012, 03:50 PM

Phi Phi Hunter · 06-08-2012, 03:51 PM

2.5-3.5 and coon, no way over 3.5 leg too spindly

txdukklr · 06-08-2012, 04:11 PM

wait til fall I'd be willing to be a brand new pack of twinkies he's at least 4 if not older

critter69 · 06-08-2012, 04:12 PM

Coons got mange

Reaper · 06-08-2012, 04:13 PM

3 and a coon

Booner Sooner · 06-08-2012, 09:20 PM

4 years old but kill him and we'll check his teeth to tell for sure.

Chance Love · 06-08-2012, 11:02 PM

I don't think anyone can accurately age deer right now. Just too early. I don't even try this early in the year.

And guys...they ALL have skinny necks right now, regardless of age.

jooger17 · 06-08-2012, 11:19 PM

I'm gonna go with 3 or 4. I don't think he is 5. His shoulders are lower than his rump. He looks really tight along his body except for his brisket. I also have a little experience with the deer up there and they're absolute tanks!

J-J Matt · 06-11-2012, 08:06 AM

Im going with 3 on this. If he were 5, he would have alot bigger shoulders and neck regardless of time of year. I agree that it is harder to judge this time of year, but that deer isn't a day older than 4. He still has a long skinny head and small framed body.
