Looks to be 31/2 to me. Looks like he would be real nice in a few more years. Where is this at?

a bruiser indeed.  great genetics, yes he looks to be a youngin.  i don't know what kind of neighbors you have but if at all possible you should let him walk.  great deer!

Yeah I wish I could keep him around.  I only have 22 acres to keep him on, or else he will travel to the wrong nieghbor and he will pop him.  The only good thing is he is mostly nocternal now.  I have him on my camera around 8:30 in the evenings, and mostly at random hours in the middle of the night.  I hope no one sees him this whole year to see if I can get some mroe of his genes spread.  Here is him at night with his running buddy.

great little spot you have there>
