Agree with 4.5
There is just a tiny bit of sway in his back (but no belly yet). His underline is straight (not tapered as in a younger buck nor bellied as in an older animal).
Too, his neck is just blending with his brisket, but the brisket itself is not real pronounced yet (it become more so in later years).
He has just now reached the age where his skeletal structure is complete, so in coming years the nutrients he receives will start to show up more in antler growth/mass.
He has a lot of potential to make a trophy class main frame.
