How old?

[EastTexasMan]

New lease down in old Mexico so we have no history with any bucks there. This old dude stepped out and got skimmed.

7 point weighed 225#… how old do you think he was? Sorry no teeth pics

[RMW]

Minimum 8 probably older

“Skimmed”. Awesome.

That’s a heck of a 7 point. He looks like a sure enough old deer. Your guess is gonna be more accurate than the teeth would be.

8+ is always the go to for old bucks - just curious if anyone with more experience with old donkeys would think 10+ bc that’s where I was leaning… 129” 7

Old enough. It gets hard for me to judge after 7 without history but (judging off the pictures) I have no reason to believe he isn’t 10. Stud of a 7

I got a cape across easily a week ago but I slipped through the cracks. Hope you can get that cape back over here. Nice buck

Actually, tooth wear is the best way of evaluating how you're doing field aging. It doesn't have to nail the exact year. Don't let a group of nay-sayers deter you from implementing a good source of data.
