RE: ARs= The Survival of the Weak and Scrawny
And anyone that knows anything about aging deer,knows that tooth wear is inaccurate after 2.5 years. In order to determine the age of a 5.5 buck it is necessary to examine a cross section of a tooth.
Do Tex. deer teeth age the same way as PA deer? how about Miss. deer? do their antlers grow based on the same principles?

Tooth wear is an accepted method of ESTIMATING age. Not perfect but still used by game agencies across the country. You're really grasping at straws arent you???

RE: ARs= The Survival of the Weak and Scrawny
So you admit the buck you claimed to be 5.5 was just an estimate or a guess ,just like the PGC harvest data . So what was the margin of error on that guess ? was it two or three years/

RE: ARs= The Survival of the Weak and Scrawny
Since you don't know the difference, I got you some help from Webster...

The margin of error is more like a year at that stage of tooth wear.
I guess you've never needed to age a deer and I probably shouldn't have expected you to know that. I apologize for assuming that you would know about these things.
