Default Aging deer at your check stations??

I was wondering if your state ages deer at the check stations??, and if so have you found that they have NO clue what they are doing. Here in Illinois (atleast at my counties check station) they are terrible. I have been there several times when monstorous bucks are checked in and consistently they age them at 2 1/2 yrs. In fact this year a guy killed a buck that scored in the high 180' s non-typical and you guessed it 2 1/2. Just wondering if any one else has found this to be the norm in your state. I don' t see how respective DNR' s can get accurate records on deer ages throughout their states with such poor assesment by these check station officials.
