That's pretty cool Germ.

Good read Germ, I have always noticed that at 3 1/2 the hump at the shoulders becomes more distinct, but then maybe its just me.

That was a great read, and answered alot of questions. But also brought a new question to my mind.

Is there a way to tell the real age of the deer after it is killed? One that is indisputable?

[popeandyoungchaser]

The way that most biologists age deer after the kill is by examining the jaw and teeth. This is not the final answer mistakes are made and it is a skill thing to do it there is very little science involved, just some minor qualities for each age class.

[popeandyoungchaser]

Also after about 4.5 years old teeth start to look the same so it ends up being aprofessional guess.

Good stuff, allot of the same ways I judge (guess) a deer for age.
