How old are these three bucks?
Filed under: How Old Is This Buck?
Clay,
The buck in the picture from January 2015 has a very straight back and belly. His neck merges with his chest well above his brisket and his shoulders aren’t totally developed. I estimate this buck to be two or three depending on the quality of habitat where he lives.
The buck in the picture dated June 26, 2015 appears to have a very straight back, tight belly, and his shoulder and ham are not developed. When I cover his antlers he appears similar to a large doe. I estimate this buck to be two years old.
The buck in picture with no date appears to have a swayed back and pot belly. His neck merges with his chest very close to his brisket. It’s difficult to accurately estimate the age of bucks when they are facing a camera. Based on this picture I estimate this buck to be four years old or older.
Enjoy creation,
