Ehh not a 'jawbone-age' fan personally; too many variables. Any pics of the deer alive?

Then why the need to respond?? Everyone knows it is not a perfect science, but it will dang sure get you close and help in the building of one's knowledge base...


OP, I agree with the others, that it is a mature deer in the range of 5 1/2 years old.

Looks 4 to me, most aging by teeth alone is worthless though.

OP, any other pics of him broadside? He looks like a skinny guy to me, but they usually are in the hill country. No older than 5.5 IMO in that picture.

Because I felt like I had an opinion to share and also have experience with hill country deer He's curious on the age, I asked to see pics on the hoof. I'll run my post by you next time though

Hard to tell from just one pic, and I am not a jaw expert.

It does look like an old face to me, but not enough information for me to be definitive.

Oops I forgot.


He's a skinny, pre rut, hill country 5 year old

[Bayouboy]

Looking at the pic I would have said 4. Looking at the teeth 5.
