RE: whats the best way to age a deer by looking at it?
I don't know....I had everyone tell me last week that color phase was NOT an indication of a deer's age. I've got one that is really dark with a grey muzzle.....and he's a small racked 5-pointer.
Everybody said there's no way this is a old deer (based on only this criteria).
I tend to agree now that I've paid attention to his other features.
