Anyone have a ballpark on how old this deer was. The pictures might be too out of focus.

That's a better guide than I was using. I have a hard time with 4.5 and 5.5 yr olds. I had him in that range. I wonder if diet differences have an effect on tooth wear.

Yes, it is a best guess after 2.5 unless you have the tooth cross sectioned.

Looks like that deer needed to visit babysaph.
Woodstick - congrats on the nice buck, I saw the picture on the other thread.

That deer doesn't need to visit me. He has good teeth. LOL
