I don't have a lot of experience determining the age of deer/elk etc, but I'm assuming by the size of his antlers he's still pretty young.

A four point buck is approximately 1 1/2 to 3 years old. (From HuntingHeart.com). Nice shot.

Nice shot! I agree with seh… he’s smiling. He’s 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 yrs old. Healthy looking too.
