Outstanding thread thank you, I wish MSU and some of the other schools would assemble a collection of images like this to help hunters learn to age deer. After all they have an exact age of the ones in their pens and could easily take tons of pics for practice....thank you!

This is quality tool. A neighboring lease that my buddy is on just started a " 10 pt min" in an area where almost all 3.5 year old bucks are ten points or eights with two one inch burrs at the base lol. I told them to make it more based on age than anything to have more mature deer. The poster is right about don't worry about headgear with age attached is a pic of a 3.5 year old. He has 14 pts including two 2 inch points out of the bases also. I told a couple people I had a young 14 pt they were like no if it's got that many points it's an old deer-- nope. The pics show same deer face on and the left ear is cut. Same deer. He needs two more years to be fully mature.

I'd looked for this thread before, but chunkandwind's thread brought me to do a search. He went to a lot of trouble to show us things we'd (I'd) never thought about.

Bsk I mostly quit using this forum 12 years ago and I still occasionally reference these images. Also still pick up my copy of manage your deer 101 from time to time.

I learned a lot from you as an excited young land steward in the early days of this site and the wildlife on my farms benefited from your wealth of knowledge. Good to see you back here.

Where could someone get a copy of Manage your deer 101? I'm always interested in studying material on land or wildlife management.

I got it for free when I joined qdma. It was written by dr grant woods, bsk, and I can't remember the third guy. It was an early (deer management is more than food plots) book. I definitely recommend

it looks like it's out of print, pretty steep price on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/p/47966858
 
Thanks for posting. It continues to help me and I think it can help many new hunters realize what they're shooting whether or not they choose to pull the trigger....
 
It's kinda like if you really want a fine wine to drink,
you cannot drink the juice from those grapes BEFORE
it has had time to turn into that fine wine.

Nothing wrong with drinking grape juice.
But if you want a fine wine,
you will never have it so long as you drink all the grape juice
before it can turn into wine.

And if you kill off your very best top-end young bucks,
you should never expect to have a top-end older buck.

But kill what makes you happy :)
Just don't complain that you never see a monstrous old buck
if you kill them before they have time to become that.
