Mature or Not?

Tooth wear is less than 50% accurate according to "experts". I say he's 4.5-5.5 by looking at his body. Pull the two lower front teeth and send them to deerage.com for a better estimate.

Yep.. From my experience they are usually older than what the teeth indicate.. Sometimes by 2-3 years..

Teeth say 4 IMO. I also believe he was 4. Pointy nose, no loose skin, especially with the rut. No chin flap, wish I could see the brisket.

I've never heard of ageing deer from ear creases? Hi Tim

I don’t see that buck being older than 4.5. And most of the other deer you posted look young too. I’ve hunted central Texas my whole life. Yes I’d cull that buck out. But I’m not seeing him being post mature at all. Maybe yalls deer down there are built a bit different but there’s little doubt when a mature buck walks out in Mason.

There are a lot of things to look at when aging. You know that.
You won't see ear creases that defined on a young buck ever.. Those takes years to develope. Like the wrinkles on a persons face and hands..

Teeth look 5.5 to me

Come on man, where ya been? Just another something to look at instead of body size.

I would say minimum 4.5 on the teeth wear but probably 5.5. They **** sure dont show 3.5 like every freaking deer posted on the internet for aging, lol. I really wish I could see how far down the staining went on his back legs. I think I see a hint of it going fairly far down but not sure.

4.5+
Pressure wash teeth and take an overhead pic. Can’t age them from the side view alone.

Teeth say 4.5 imo,I would have hated to guess post rut with no history on him.

4-5 is my guess
