Good one Jason! What's your guess on the deer?

Without seeing the teeth, any age assessment is even more of a "guess".
My best "guess" would be 4 1/2 years old when killed.

I had "guesstimated" the age of this deer to be 4-1/2 at the time of the kill. I could see that he had incredible mass,(this deer green scored 138-3/8) with only a 15 in. inside spread. When I checked him out, the TWRA officer present checked his teeth and aged him at 3-1/2. His body and antlers combined to fool me I guess, but I sure thought he was 4-1/2 at my best guess. His base circumference was nearly 5 in. BTW.

You can't judge age by antlers. I've seen mature bucks that gross anywhere from 60 on up.

Yup, that's why I called it a "guesstimation".
