RE: Opinion on deer age based on horns?
My Dad killed a 10 point in 1998 that weight 155 field dressed, and the rack scored 144 gross, and netted 137. He saved the jawbone, and took it to a wildlife biologist. The guy said it was a 2 1/2 year old deer. He said that 1 in 25,000 bucks make pope & young at 2 1/2 years of age. Don't ask Me where He pulled that number from.
