If you don't judge the age by body weight then what have you got to judge them by? They won't let you age them by opening up their mouths while they are still alive. We killed those young bucks in the past; therefore, we have some background info. Most of the people practicing QDM judge the deer's age by their body weight and body features. A gray muzzle, thick chest, sagging belly, etc.

In that case you should write a field guide for aging whitetails. I don't know of one that exists that can give any kind of accuracy. It would make our jobs alot easier.
