      Hard to tell from that angle bud but I'd say 4-5

        If both sides are worn like that, the deer is 5.5+ IMO. Need to see the back 3 molars on each side.

            Starting to see wear on the 5th cusp but it is not prominent in the picture. This jaw should be about 3.5 to 4.5 at most as there is enough dentine to support that. Cheers!

                  I'd think 5+.

                    As a general rule I have always heard that when dentine is wider than the enamel then it would be 4.5 and up depending on how much it's worn down to the gums and depending on location and what it was eating. On my lease this would be a 3.5 year old as they are the same width so the theory bears out for me. Would be good also to see both sides because they are usually a little different wear.

                        I think it is going to be more on the lines of 5+. The teeth are pretty worn on both sides. Thanks for replys.

                            I don't know where the 3.5/4.5 is coming from? He is 5.5, pretty straight forward. First molar the cusp is completely gone, just enough enamel left in the center to make him 5.5.
