MrWiggely Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Re: how old do u think this deer is Looks more like 3 1/2 too me. Teeth are still sharp with very little wear to them. When the deer hit 4 1/2-51/2 the teeth are not as sharp and show wear from use. This is just my opinion on age though. I could be wrong, I was once ;-) Wigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockefeller66 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Re: how old do u think this deer is I would say 3.5, very hard to tell from the pics though, heck it is hard to tell holding them in your hand! Great buck though, congrats to ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbowman Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Re: how old do u think this deer is My guess would be 3.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bownarow Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Re: how old do u think this deer is Just based on his rack (by which all things should be judged ), I would say 3.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DropTineOutdoors Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Re: how old do u think this deer is I agree with 3.5 (at most) based on his antlers. Judging by the teeth without knowing what your deer are primarily feasting on is not my favorite way of doing it. But what do I know?? Good buck anyway. Congrats!

Ravin R10 man Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Re: how old do u think this deer is that appears to be a younger deer, no more than 2 and a half, MAYBE 3 1/2?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Re: how old do u think this deer is Really nice deer. Hard to tell by your pics. I would agree with the others saying probably a 3.5 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
