#1 is the classic wear-pattern for 5 1/2. Both #2 and #3 show the wear patterns of a 3 1/2 year-old deer, but both of them also show some indications of wear on the 5th tooth (2d molar), which suggest 4 1/2. Perhaps that is the age or perhaps that is due to a late harvest date (mid-December versus October or November). Those are two for which I would closely examine both sides of the jaw.
