Another Jaw Bone age estimate!

[RF76]

What is the green screen experts think about age on this South Texas buck. My friend made the kill two weeks ago.

[Perkins7581]

4.5

[HogKiller]

5.5

[JMalin]

6.5 minimum

I'd call him 7.5

[Mikege1174]

6.5 minimum

I'd call him 7.5

I agree.

[Encinal]

He's not 1.

That's about as much as I rely on tooth wear.

[RF76]

I was thinking 5.5, but the last jaw age estimate I did here on the GS the deer was 7.5. lol

[kry226]

I agree.

Me too. Lots of wear on those teeth.

[KactusKiller]

5.5 min but likely 6.5

[Sika]

6.5 or 7.5

[HELLRAZOR]

5.5

[rubs-n-scrapes]

7.5

[Tex_Cattleman]

"The book" says 6.5 with the 4th molar worn smooth like that. 7.5 y.o. would have the same worn/dished out look on molar 5 like it does 4.

[dustoffer]

5.5 as IMO the first molar is notnworn smooth. However, much subjectivity here based on the type of forage, soil type, protein feeding or not, etc. Could well be either a5.5 born early, or a 6.5 born late. At any rate, it is a mature deer.

5.5 or possibly 6.5
