his body does look a lot older than his headgear would indicate

I think it could be somewhat of an optical illusion created by a couple of things:
1) Weight loss, look at the point of his hip suggesting loss of muscle mass
2) His front feet being slightly lower than his rear.
These two things could give him the look of a sway back, and possibly contribute to the appearance of a pot belly. However, if he is underweight, he may be eating some less desirable plants that could be filling his paunch up fuller than normal.
All in all, I still think it is a younger deer. Good photo. Gets you thinking!

To me he does't have the "blocky" and grey face of a mature deer. I can see the swayback but I agree that it may be an "illusion"

Pretty cool pic and a nice buck too. I'd sure like one to stand there just like that while I draw back come January.I'd take a buck like that in a heart beat, thanks for sharing it...NM
