2nd rack....2 years old

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
 

Both of these deer are the same age....just a matter of genetics....
Hard to tell the deer's age unless you measure their jaw bone....There is a special tool for that.

Just a random shot of the deer .........the buck closest to the camera is 2 years old....The does are 2 years old.....The smallest fawns were born this Spring...

the two bucks in front are in velvet this spring.....
they are 2 years old
the racks of most bucks tend to peak at about 5-7 years of age...then their size and shape starts to shrink, and / or become abnormal....typically, not always.....

Thanks Sunset. These pics don't help much though. What would be good are broadside shots of bucks in winter coat with hardened antlers. The early season bucks don't look anything like what comes past our stands. Thanks again.

Well picky picky picky poo LOL......:D
Hard to tell ages in the wild....genetics are so different....until they are aged with that jaw bone aging tool, teeth size....etc.
I'll keep taking pics of the ones here on our farm. May help a little. Since we at least know their ages.:)

you're welcome :)

I saw a post on here a couple years ago that had bucks at different ages in the wild. A lot of folks can tell from body weight/shape; I'm just not one of them.:D

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
 

you're right on the body /weight thing....that is definetly a determiner....but, here's an example of it being really tuff to tell.....these two are the same age......

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
 

Man OH Man! Did that little guy get the raw end of the deal or what??

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
 

yep, he sure did.....
Here's another pic of the deer

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
 

No offense dude, but it looks like those deer are in a small acre enclosure with no cover. I would rather not compare them to wild deer.

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
 

Those pics are awsom. Are they wild or on a deer farm?

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
 

This one is 8.5 years old

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
 

This one was 3.5 years old

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
 

Great Pics sunset, thanks for sharing!!:D

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
 

Well, for one thing, I'm not a dude.....and they do have cover, you can't see the entire area from these pics....... How do you know where these deer are from? I can't tell the difference from a wild deer to a domesticated deer by looks:).........I was just trying to answer your question....

No offense taken:)

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
 

you're welcome....I was just trying to help.....:)

RE: Speaking of deer aging; anyone have pics of deer at different known ages?
