What are you hunting/fishing?

zbigjeff Yeah, it takes a lot of research of looking at photos of deer. Then also discussing with others on their thoughts. But of course aging is very regional, a 4.5 year old in the area of Texas I hunt will look nothing like a 4.5 year old corn fed Iowa deer. It is difficult at times, it is also fun having those discussions.
HerbcoFood congrats to you. Enjoy

HerbcoFood You guys are amazing at being able to tell the age in a split second while your trigger finger is going crazy and twitching. I don’t hunt. But, see many deer fairly close to me. I applaud you guys for being that skilled.
Also note that the actual aging of a deer doesn’t take place till it’s down. The wear of the teeth on the lower jaw is what determines the age of the deer.
On a buck you can get an approximation of its age by observation of the animal’s physique.
Like most male humans, a buck’s body progressively fills out as it ages, assuming good health and diet.
processhead Man, you guys originally made me think wow, you can tell from the teeth/jaw before. LOL I do thank all of you for the education. It’s never too late to learn.

I thought some of yall would like to see this buck I just finished mounting for a local guy. He had it green scored at 203 and 5/8 inches. It was an impressive set of antlers to work with.

That would be my guess.

ND Mike my neighbor arrowed this buck on January 12th. Needless to say you need to be careful how you handle those late season antlers. He drug him about 80 yards to where he could drive to him. It came off in his hand loading him in the truck.
I’ve got him fixed up now.
