the only way to realey tell is by the teeth.you can tell it is a mature buck,most of the time by the way his belley will sag with age and hie nose will seem to get a small hump on it.
also a deers head and snout will get larger the older it gets,not shorter.the skull will get thicker and heaver.
hope this helps

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.
