A lot of potential right there . That's a good amount of horns for that thin chest . Will be a good one someday ,I would think .
my son in law has been watching this one for several years , its older than it looks for sure and the knot on his jaw gives him away as the same deer . he is at least 6 years old now possibly older , shows up on the camera every year for a long time now but they never see him during the season .
and that is how they grow old

I'm assuming the hunting pressure is not over the top in your neck of the woods? A few years ago we filmed and took still pics of a really nice buck on property where I worked.Two days after we had last filmed him,a friend of mine shot the same buck chasing a doe on his property,his property is three miles from where we filmed him two days before.
It is always a possibility the Bucks you film today,will be hanging on another's meat pole quite a distance away tomorrow,of course new bucks could always drift in you may have never seen before.

If he is 6 or older, he is defiantly older than he looks. Not knowing his age I would have passed on him for another year or two. I have killed one 7 1/2+ year old but he may not have many years left.
I learned to age deer in south Texas from Roy Hinds. You may have heard of him. He taught the Game wardens how to do it way back in the day.I killed the 7 1/2 plus on his ranch.
I use multiple methods to age deer on the hoof , you ever hear of the ear wrinkle one ?
its a pretty darn accurate ,but you have to be able to see the deer really well up close with some vision enhancement
of course in some areas of texas deer look lots different to me as they age ,but to be sure the one he is watching is not a young one .
