[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5764138, member: 17"] Absolute minimum age = 2 1/2. However, I would place him at 3 1/2 due to the wear on the right side. Using the Severinghaus tooth-wear aging method, nowhere near enough wear to say 4 1/2. However, the Severinghaus method tends to under-age deer, and the problem increases as the buck's actual age increases. For bucks that show the wear pattern of 3 1/2, 50% are usually a year older than that. [/QUOTE]
