[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4556280, member: 2805"] textbook answer and most biologists would age this deer at 3.5; That being said, having pulled numerous jawbones from deer on my farms that I knew the ages of from successive years of trail camera photos, I would age that deer as 4.5 on my farms. For whatever reason, my local deer just don't show as much wear for age as other locales (prob diet related). If there is any significant wear on M2 (not necessarily dentine classically wider than the enamel), the deer is 4.5. This is where knowing your local hunting area comes in handy. [/QUOTE]
