Best guess on aging by the jaw

[AntlerCollector]

I just got this jaw cleaned up. Give me your best guesses on age please. This deer was killed about 20 miles west of Eldorado, TX.

Look 3-4

Looks 3.5 by the teeth...I’m not a big fan of teeth aging, but that is what those teeth show to me

No older than 3 1/2.

[Huggybear]

3.5

3.5

Somewhere between 2.5 and 3.5

With what little I know I’d say 3 or 4.

3.5

He'd be tooth aged at 3.5 on our deer lease in the panhandle.

Classic example of a 3 1/2 year old jaw bone. Too much wear on the 4th tooth for a 2 1/2 and not enough on the 4th and 6th teeth for a 4 year old.

I agree with everyone on the 3 1/2 age by looking at the jaw. I will say when looking at him on the hoof it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was 4 1/2. I will post camera pics, and based on those pics what would have been your guess.

IMO he looked older alive.

[texasdeerhunter]

Definitely looked older alive, and I would have shot him too
