No idea.
Location and diet. Sand Hills or elsewhere in Ks?

Those don't look exceptionally old to me. Definitely not a spring buck, but not a ancient. Send a tooth in to deerage.com and find out.

5.5+. The Wildlife Techniques Manual says it's between 5.5 and 8.5 but aging by tooth wear after 2.5 is a SWAG. Environmental factors and health of the deer are factors that can't be accounted for in tooth wear aging model.

Only thing I know for sure is he is as old as he is going to get. Any pics of him with fur on?
