Frankie, I think the deer looks to be atleast 4.5/5.5 in that last years pic. Maybe even older. Since he is displaying a good bit more antler in that last year pic and a little more toned body composition I suspect he is older and going down. It could be due to habitat stress, but the other bucks in the pic don't seem to be suffering. In this years pics he appears to have a sagging posture and lots of loose hide, signs of lost muscle (aging). I guess that it is possible that injury or disease could be causal, but my gut tells me that he is an older deer. I am also assuming that this deer is from the Tallassee area and I am very familiar with deer from that area. What is your take on the deers age?
