Few recents of him. He’s being pretty consistent at the feeders. Hope he keeps that up and stays in this area like he had been and next year he may be more of a target.

Same looks like the same place/area I am on for last few years. PM if needed

Initial pictures aren’t the best but pretty sure this is him this year. Looks like he may not have done much if not regressed a bit.

Thoughts?

My question now is…is he 5 or was he 2 in the 2019 pics and now he’s just 4?

I want to lean more towards a 5
Year old. From the rest of the herd what I’m seeing is a decent jump from 3-4 rather than 2-3. I honestly did not expect for him to taper off though.

Body wise he’s definitely one of the healthier bucks in the pasture though.

I think he's the same buck. Sometimes they regress for no apparent reason. The buck I shot last year was an 8 after a main frame 11 the year before. I think the buck is mature and would bust him.

I always felt like hill country deer tended to look younger than they actually were, which I attributed to their smaller body sizes.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if he is 5.5.

They’re definitely tougher to read than some places. I feel like I’ve gotten better with it than 5-6 years ago but I still question myself occasionally.

4-5. Nice deer!

[bullhead44]

just to be different, I say 4.25!

Did you happen to see the previous season pictures. I bumped this thread from last season, now have 3 years worth of pictures of him.
