[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5763707, member: 2805"] Look at 3rd premolar. Zero wear. Most 4.5yos will have some wear on 3rd premolar. That being said, the buck favored one side more than the other. Right side looks 3.5, left side looks 2.5. I usually go with the side that had more wear. But you are right... he could be 4.5 or older. Aging deer by jawbone is almost farcical. Body weights have almost as much correlation with actual ages as the jawbone. As far as the OP reference to dominance defining age... I watched a 80lb 1.5yo 5in spike today pawing the ground, blowing up in a show of dominance, and pushing around 4 other bucks with larger racks that deferred to him. Never seen a buck write so many checks he couldn't cash. Just ornery genetics, future cull buck I suspect. [/QUOTE]
