His face looks young but you can't always tell from looks. He is not very scarred up, for an old guy. And he looks lite and thin. Im gonna say 3. Because his antlers are too well developed for a 2 year old, and he is not beat up enough for a 4 year old. it looks like he has a big lump on his right shoulder. Do you know anything about him? Do you have any history on him?
 
Yep after another look im going with 2.5 or 3. he may be a well balanced 3x3 in 2 more years. Hopefully you have him on private land so you can give him a chance to be all he can.
 
I seen him a couple of times last year during bow season and unfortunately he always gave me the slip.
I hunt in public land so hopefully he's still around when the season starts up.
 
Yeah he looks around 3 years old. 2 year olds don't usually have such developed antlers.
