I find it very interesting that there are folks who can (or think they can) accurately judge the age of a deer while in the field. I killed a 160 2/8" brute this year that my taxidermist aged at 5.5 years, two DNR Biologists age at 3.5 without hesitation and one very seasoned hunter aged at 7.5, all based on the teeth. Best I can do is; "that's a young one", "he's got some age on him" and "man, he's old". I'm not saying it can't be done, but if these guys had that much trouble aging mine from the teeth, how can someone be so accurate simply based on body structure?
Wish I had that talent.
