Age this jaw

[ragehunter21]

Shot a buck this past season, and was wondering what y’all think his age was based on this jaw.

[Smith2001]

3 1/2 - 4 1/2 based off my very basic knowledge

[BolilloLoco]

I’d call that left side of the jaw 4

4.5, maybe 5.5. Right side looks 4.5 and left side looks 5.5 to me.

4.5? there is a place you can send to have them analyzed if you're really interested in knowing. I sent a few and it seemed pretty accurate based on my estimates. Have any trail camera pictures or harvest pictures? That would help age him.

3.5 to me

Could you tell us alittle more . What part of Texas did you take him . If east could possibly have been eating soft grass/ food plot all his life and be alittle older . If west or south could be alittle younger depending on if he was eating dry tuff stuff. All that aside looking at pic I’d say 4 to 4 1/2

That method is not a 100% accurate either, although it is more accurate than aging by tooth wear. Like others have pointed out a lot of factors go into aging by tooth wear.

Looks 4.5 to me.

[Calrob]

5.5 guaranteed

Have your local TPWD biologist look at it. I say 4.5-5.5 leaning 5.5. One thing for sure; he won’t get any older LOL
