I've already gotten some "professional" opinions, but like other things, everyone has one. Please age this deer from the jaw bone pics please.
thanks

Your pics are lacking adequate detail for a good "guess".
But my guess is 3 1/2 based on what little I can see.
It also helps to actually have a jawbone in your hand, where you can not only see in great detail from a variety of angles, but you can "feel" the sharpness of the teeth.

Can't see the teeth well enough. Pics need to be enlarged.

The 4th tooth shows some wear, suggesting 3 1/2, but that may be due to the crests of the 4th tooth being broken off while the jaw was being removed. The youngest tooth in the mouth, the 3rd tooth, shows virtually no wear at all, which makes me lean towards 2 1/2.
That's a jaw I would need to hold in my hands.
