RE: Aging deer

I would suggest buying the following booklet from the QDMA On-line store (link provided):

A Field Guide to Aging Whitetail Bucks on the Hoof

This 22-page, water-resistant field guide, a companion to Observing & Evaluating Whitetails, is a great reference for aging live whitetail bucks. Keep in your pocket to help you to identify physical characteristics and behaviors that indicate age.

Price: $6.95
