2.5 on all of them but the pic of the deer makes me think he was a bit older... Tooth wear isn't absolute anyway so I'd say 3.5 on that fat buck
 
Wow, I actually guessed what the majority thought. I may be gettingbetter at jaw aging after all. The last one looks a little bit older from the pic of his body but I still wouldn't say any more than 3.5. Nice deer though.
 
I agree that upon initial inspection, all look 2 1/2, personally, I would age #1 as 3 1/2. And I would do so for two reasons. First, the tips of the 4th tooth are definitely worn down. Look at how sharp the tips of 5th and 6th teeth are in comparison. Second, the amount of wear on the first three teeth. If that buck is 2 1/2, those teeth would have been exposed for less than a year, and that's a lot of wear for a year's time.

By following the standardized rules of aging by tooth wear, all of the jawbones would fit into the 2 1/2 age category. But in my opinion, deer #1 is older than the other two deer.
 
Thanks for the input fellars. Fat deer was jawbone #2. #1 was a co-workers deer that i dont have a picture of. I was pretty sure #3 was a 2.5 when i shot him...and that was fine with me.
