Then I will go with 5.5 due to his diet being mainly browse.

Pays to see both sides when aging. I would call him a 6.5 yr old based off of both sides after seeing that other side pics.

Yeah, I brushed them clean in the second set of pics. After studying the pdf file even more I'm starting to see the difference through the years. Yep i would have to agree 6.5 years old. The teeth are concave, and the teeth are worn pretty low. Good mature kill. Just for shits and giggles here's what he looked like on hoof. As stated before the guess was 3-4.5 I'm guessing to age deer you have to take location into account? Because my initial guess was 4. I would of never guessed 6.5 I see other 5-6 year old bucks in other threads and they look mature, with the big sagging belly, and the droopy brisket. Any way here's the pic.

Infundibulum is clear in tooth 3 and 6. Definitely a 6.5 year old.

Personaly I would have never guessed that deer was 6.5 years old from that picture. But then again what I have to go off of is our deer whcih are increadibly overfed and fat.

I see at least 5.5. If he was on free choice protein, he could be up around 7.5, who knows for sure, unless you send it in for cementum annuli.

Area and diet have to be taken into account with ageing from teeth wear after 3.5 years old. Sandy soil areas will show more ware than other soil types. Primary browse as well.
Pic the way he is standing I would have thought younger than 6.5 and in area I hunt he could be 4.5 with that tooth ware.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

It's the trans-pecos region, which is the start of the desert. I wouldn't give it's teeth too much credit for age, nothing but rocks, sand and branches to chew on.
