Re: guess the age
Congrats on the bucks! I'd say 4,3,4. Keep us updated!
It's not the destination, it's the journey getting there!

Re: guess the age
3, 4 and 4.
Shooting from the hip. First one definitely looked younger than the other two, still great bucks regardless!

Re: guess the age
For myself, I can't really start to identify individual bucks until there 3.5 and since u stated u have history and that u were off by a year. I would say the majority are 5.5.
If I were guessing off looks I would say all 3.5s

Re: guess the age
#1. 4.5
#2. 3.5
#3. 3.5
The fact you Shot 2 of these in muzzleloader season makes it even harder to tell, because both of those bucks had lost some serious weight. I’m interested to hear the results.

It is hard to compare that velvet pic because they gain so much neck weight for rut. This was purely a guess from the jaws for me.
Congrats, those are great bucks!

I am very curious to see the difference between the jaw aging and deerage.com results.

Here you go, this should help. Didn't want to make it too easy
Curious if anyone has experience aging jaws?

Re: guess the age
from what i see id say all are 3.5 from tooth wear. but im always skeptical on how accurate that can be all deer are individual so lets just say one buck lives in the big woods eating lots of acorns and woody brows. now the other buck is from farm country with a completely different diet. one deer has to chew his cud longer than the next. one food is chewy one is not. one deer has genetically better tooth enamel. once a deer reaches a certain age which im not 100% when he looses that front molar think its around 2.5. but either way im not allways 100% sure tooth wear is entirely accurate. i just see a lot of flaws in the concept. i would love to see multiple deer taged a fawns then have there tooth wear documented at time of harvest. and that is also why i just gun for the best bucks that my area provides and leave it at that.
