I'm going to say no, but something looks off about him for sure.

[sharpstick35]

I would say he was 3 - 4

Something was very off about him for sure. Watched him for 3 years and every time I saw him next to a deer I knew was young, he looked different, next to an old deer, still looked different, his neck, feet, and face always threw me off. Sucker had some long hooves, and was a very tall deer (body wise) compared to the others.

He's a ? for sure. Just glancing at the pics I probably wouldn't have called him too old in 2019. Certainly not what I consider post-mature (9+). How old did y'all think he was when y'all killed him? I don't care what the teeth show, what did y'all think he was?

Some deer just never show their age. Some will look like a 3 year their entire life. You just never know.

I thought he was post mature. Everything about him threw me off in person. I can usually look at a buck and say whether he’s young or not, but every time I saw him next to a “young” deer, he looked definitely older. Even in 2018 when I saw him next to 2-3 year olds he looked older.

I took him to just be old as dirt and that’s why he got whacked.

My Goliad bucks are very tough to age compared to the bigger bodied atascosa deer we have killed. We have let some older cull bucks slip thru the cracks due to age uncertainty

Did he have nuts?

Nothing was abnormal there.
