Came across this fella on the first day of a 4 day trip. Passed him up at the time and I still think it's the right decision. Hopefully another year or two to really develop his tops. How old do you think he is?

5yrs, not great trophy potential

6 years
A trophy for the right person
That’s a good point, I should have worded it better.Quote:

A guestimate, but 5 years I would say. But not the potential for a great trophy.
5.almost looks like a head of an older one that has started going backwards.looks cool though-dont think I would have passed on him first day.
I agree with this looks like an older stag going backwards. But looking at his body I would say 4-5 years old.Quote:

Never going to grow in to a classic 12 pointer.
About 5yrs. We'll developed lower tines but lacking tops that'll never really improve. If they're going to grow the classic royal tops, they'll be there by now.

More like 4 I reckon
looks like steak , casserole and sausages to me leave the head behind
i reckon about 4 years, have a look at the second photo, he hasn't got the 'Dad Bod' happening, More of a younger looking body.
( don't ask why i know what a dad bod looks like):thumbsup:
He is certainly old enough to show his potential which is pretty average.
You might have to go back and get him :thumbsup:
This is the stag that wasn't so luck. Massive thanks to @Billbob for cleaning the skull up for me. Amazing job, zero smell and pearly white - check out his thread in the taxidermy section if you're interested in something similar!

Thanks mate anytime
I looked at the way he was carrying his head and guessed young, maybe 5yrs - a few more years and they tend to carry their heads further out in front with their neck more parallel with the ground if that makes sense. I like the "dad bod" thinking though, but you could probably add "many years of getting yapped at by the girls" too haha.
I’d say 3-4 he could grow out a bit yet I reckon make a 12pointer, well left
