Congrats on a nice mature deer.


Send the jaw bone in and get it checked to know for sure what the age is.All you can get from teeth is an educated guess.


He may very well be that old but he may be closer to what you had him aged as well.


A deer's diet can have an affect on their teeth so if you want to know for sure,send it in to the state and have them check it for you.It used to be free here in Ky and not sure if it still is or not.

Tfox, good points. The last one I had aged, I took to my local biologist here. Hmmmmmm I wonder if he sent it off to a lab? I will have to call and ask him. He had it for about a month..I never did ask, I was busy still hunting that season and kind of forgot about and then he called me and told me and I picked the jaw bone back up. Anyway..thanks..I will havemy taxisave the jaw off of this buck....so I can do just that

Hey guys, I just want to add.. I in no way was trying to bring attention to my deer or my story..I sure hope this didnt come across this way ..and if It did, I apologize and did not intend it too.....

Today,it just kind of shocked me when they told me.....kind of caught me off guard etc..and wanted to share the info with you guys....

T-fox, I think your exactly right..if I really want to know forsure...then I need to get it checked..

I guess the only accurate way to determine age is to have a tooth cross-sectioned, then aged. I once took the jaw of a 140", 190 lb field dressed buck, along with the rack to our local whitetail DNR biologist and had him tell me that it was a 2 1/2 or even a 1 1/2!!!!!![:-]

I stopped doing that.[>:]
