I agree, and I am glad I have the opportunity to watch the majority of my deer grow up and know their age without question. Knee wear is typically seen at 6+ on our place, and this is a knee from a known 6 year old cull that was killed a few weeks ago....
I'm certainly no expert. Without looking at the teeth its just tough to age these older deer for me once they are fully mature. I would have said he was 6+ in 2018.
I don't think he's that old. He's walking high up on his hooves, no calluses, hocks are not stained/scalded, no ear wrinkles, his fur is smooth and slick with almost no scares. 3/4 or 4/5.....
