If you look closely you can see the head of a second bear in center screen. I've had these two frequenting my property a lot this summer, including once walking around my front porch, and another time on a close encounter when hiking up the logging road to work on a food plot. This is a screenshot of a video. The next video caught the bear in focus stand up, walk over the knoll and get into a little wrestling match with the one walking up.
Whether he is 4 or 5 wouldn't make a difference in my book, but that's my opinion. Bases are done growing, but looks like he is still got a little more tine length to come.

Yeah, we aren’t going to get too hung up on age. We like to shoot the ones we want. I did convince dad to pass him last year and it’s looking like a good idea. He’ll look a lot different when the velvet sheds, but he should look good!
This is a nice buck my son found both sides to this spring. There’s a little video of him picking them up in the “As They Lay” thread. Very narrow, but otherwise a very nice young deer.
Edit: I do believe the buck behind him is one I posted last year as well. Had a severe overbite. Doesn’t seem to have affected him at all!
