How old is the southwest Missouri buck?

Question
Could you possibly help me, by giving your thoughts on the age of this buck? This deer is in southwest Missouri! Thanks!
Caleb,
That buck appears to have a huge body! It’s difficult to accurately estimate the age of a buck that’s facing the camera. It appears his chest sags well below where his legs meets his shoulders. His antler bases are have a much larger diameter than his eyes. These are good both indicators of a mature buck. I loosely estimate the buck is four years old or older.
Enjoy creation,
