He has daylighted very few times on camera and I caught a glance at him last season. Otherwise all night time. My question is age, my son says 7 because he has pics of a very similar rack 5 years ago. I think he is 6.

I can assure you there is no lying or deception.

Only way to do it is with years of pictures. Dying ain't much of a living boy...Josey Wales Molon Labe

I can assure you there is no lying or deception. No what I’m saying is if a biologist tells you that deer is one age or another with confidence he’s full of it. Only way to know for sure is a lot of pics from a lot of years to age any individual deer that old.

Gotcha, I’ve got a few from last year and these, he is a good buck for my area but so far very hard to catch up with.
