you would have never guessed it by looking at him, i was sitting with the owner of the property and i told him the deer was around 4 he said no way its 2 1/2 i said no he needs to go cause we have 2 1/2 yr old deer with better racks.
anyway he reluctantly shot him, im glad hes even older than i thought.
judging on the hoof aint easy

I like the plainness and simplicity of your gun. I'd like to ask what kind is it?

I would say 4.5
The fourth tooth is what you used to judge it best. The second tooth is also called a milking tooth and becuase it still has some point to it, it could even be 3.5
weird looking
they also chew on one side of their mouths so the more warn down side is what you go off of
