    Is there a definitive way to age deer beside tooth aging?

    Smitty not that I am aware of, jawbone aging is nothing but an educated guess and cementum aging is only around 85% accurate so..... Short of putting a tag in the ear at birth, I'm not sure there is.

    Buck 1 5 1/2

    Buck 2 6 1/2 maybe 7 1/2

    I question the 1st deer. Do you have the trophy photos?

    Maybe cementum aging isn't as exact as I first thought.

    Looks like I was in the minority with the second, thought Roman nose and what could have been a declining rack.

    Still think that first deer as 5 1/2, see some guessed ages on both pictures. I was going by the second set of images. Guess I didn't read the entire rules :lol:
