How to age deer?

I've heard the Hanson buck (world record typical) was aged at only 3.5 years old. Antlers can be deceiving but I'd say 4.5 year old - best guess - and in the 140's. nice looking deer. When you get a big one Trevor ask the taxidermist to save the lower jaw bone for you. There are easy techniques for examining teeth to age a deer.
