I'm not bothered by this, Bry....not in the least. I only found out for sure (as far as 'for sure' can be
) when I asked the taxidermist. Keith's done a bunch of deer.....and I simply asked him how old he was (didn't lead him). He said "3".
I didn't think you would be, but I've been in more than one cyber-fight over mis-interpretation. When you have them on the ground and can check their teeth you can get a pretty sure idea. Especially between 2.5 and 3.5 because their milk teeth are completely gone at 3.5.
For "the bull" you'll just have to get him on the ground and find out, right?
