Help with aging deer

[Mark71211]

I have no clue on how to age him. What do you guy think? He was a 7 pointer and weighted 118 dressed out.

This is a pic of him. This pic makes him look bigger then what he really is

Need a better picture of the teeth. A straight down photo and a quarter-top angled down from the cheek side of the lower jaw would be better.

 

[Mark71211]

How is this?

that's a better angle, now just get the goop off so we can see the teeth...lol

At least 3, may be able to determine older if can see with the teeth uncovered.

 

[Mark71211]

I hope this is better

At least 3...not quite enough wear for me to say 4 based on the teeth but in reality he could be 4.

Thank you for your patience and knowledge.

3.5, although that wear is not typical... more wear on M3 than one would expect for a 3.5 y/o, but less wear on M1 and M2 for a 4.5 y/o.
