Age This Deer
Got this photo the other day off my Camtrakker Digital Ranger. After having a few problems w/the camera this summer I finally got the kinks worked out and couldn't be happier. Trigger speed rocks, and as you can see the photo quality is second to none. After using Moultrie, Stealth, and Cuddeback which all have their problems I have to admit this is the camera I've had the best luck with, and been the happiest with over the last month.
So you decide, is he a 2 1/2 or a really nice 1 1/2 with great potential?

RE: Age This Deer
Tough call because we don't see a profile view of him to see his chest, back and belly but from the looks of him at this angle, I say 2.5 and I'd give him at least another year but the moment of truth would be when he stands in front of me.

RE: Age This Deer
I'm voting 1 1/2 on this one. I know the 2 1/2 year olds on this farm are almost always in the 100-110 inch range, which this guy is not. And even though you can't see the profile, he looks narrow.
Furthermore, here is another photo of the 1 1/2 year old I mistakenly took for a 2 1/2 last fall and put an arrow through is boiler room. At first glance coming through the woods you think 2 year old, when he's on the ground there's no mistake he was just a great 1 1/2. Same farm.

Again....total novice at this....but his neck would indicate to me that he's 2.5 yrs.
Take it with a grain of salt......
I'd also like to know when the pic was taken....just to know.

RE: Age This Deer
He's definately slim, I'd still love to see a profile. He's a hell of a 1.5 year old if he is. I don't know. Last year I had a great 1.5 year old like him, he was all but as big as a 2.5 year old he was running with. I hope they both are there this year one year older. See below, the 7 point in the back was a 1.5 year old last year.
