What's his age?

I "call" them kids. One's a senior in college and the other is a junior in high school.
In defense of your kids, they probably have a pretty good idea of the bigger bucks running around the neighborhood that likely don't get their pictures shown on internet forums!

Those old 8 pointers are cool deer regardless of their score though and there aren't a lot of places that deer like that would get a pass.
 
What's your neighborhood like? You have an awesome age structure.

I've very lucky to have great (or predictable) neighbors. The one north of me is a hunter and habitat guy. We share pics and discuss which one's we'd like to save and whatnot. Several other neighbors put out feeders and blinds. I suspect they over hunt certain spots. I don't have feeders as I suspect old bucks learn to avoid those areas. I put a lot of effort into not burning out stand sites. I will often skip certain stands for a year or two, alternating back and forth where I hunt. Plus I'm fine with tag soup. I only let an arrow fly once every 2-3yrs on average. I think I have a lot of deer who believe my place is a sanctuary. Suckers!
 
Might be his shed. I think it's from 2yrs ago. If so I'd say at least 2.5 when he grew that one. If so he'd be at minimum 4.5.

Cool pic. Really makes him look like a tank!
