[QUOTE="lameduck, post: 829021, member: 7530"] Are you talking about the first and biggest deer? If so... look at the fourth pic where he has his head up and you can see the sagging back and pot belly. When deer are feeding with their head down it arcs their back and makes them look younger. The neck will not be very big yet because it has not puffed out for the rut. Just like after the season they have skinny necks, the only difference is after the rut their skin is sagging and before the skin is firm. I bet in about a month that deer will put on more weight, and show his age a little more as the rut gets closer. 4.5-5.5 is probably a good assessment from my experience. Other tale tale signs are darker antler color, on the beam and tines, and kickers around the bases. Not saying younger deer cannot have kickers, its just means usually it shows maturity. [/QUOTE]
