deer aging question.

Can any of you age a deer by a euro mount? Looking at the teeth on the skull?

Only generally. No one has ever developed an aging process for upper teeth. But the amount of wear will at least tell you whether the deer was young, middle-aged, or mature. In essence, the top teeth wear about at the same rate as the bottom teeth.

I have also heard some people can get close on guessing age by the size of the 2 bones that form the the top of the nose. Any thoughts on that way.

Never heard of that technique.
