Oh.. can I play?
3.5 yrs.
A 2 yr old will have sharper points.. this deer has got a slight dullness to thems.
If I saw the body with it.. I could really be dangerous. But 3 is my guess.
(no surprise if its a 2er.)

I can tell you that my wildlife Bio. told me the size of a doe isn't a good indication of her age HERE. he told me the largest does I see here are probably 2.5's and 3.5's.
Just fodder.......

Would it not matter where this deer was harvested from? What he's been eating?

The teeth came from this deer. I shot her Saturday and was the single largest doe I have ever seen in PA. She was "dry" , had a head like a horse (Biggest head I've ever seen on a doe in 23yrs of bowhunting)
In my turck bed her head was tucked into the upper corner of the bed and her feet still stuck out to the edge of the tailgate.
For scale remember I'm a touch over 6'3" and 235lbs......and I could barely get her to the edge of the cornfield to field dress her.(with Rob's help! and some of these guys have seen me drag deer.LOL)
She was one of 3 does myself, Ben andTimshot on the same night. Mine dwarfed the other 2 and the smallest of them was Tim's and the only one of the 3 with milk.
Does that change anyone's opinions or is everyone going to stick to their guns??
I Already haveDan's expert evaluation to the question and the results ARE interesting.
