Just curious to see how everyone judges the age of buck, after seeing the pictures from RJ's QC bass trip, Have a look at the second photo, first buck.How old you think this buck is and what critereia do you use to judge that?
H&S

Actually, the only way to age a deer is by the teeth. Just do a web search for videos and info. I was going too post a link, but there are TONS of them.
Antler mass, weight, muzzle, back-sag etc are signs that a deer is really old (read too old to eat), but for a deer from 0 to about 4 1/2 years old, teeth are the only way to get a handle on the age.
Any older than that and you're just guessing anyhow.
