Nicely done! I personally have no clue on figuring the age. I'm sure many will be able to assist. Great to hear your persistence paid off! Again Nice Buck, and great write up

Good buck.
Not trying to flame or anything, but it sounds like you left the barrel. If that buck was pushing 200 lbs live weight then you should have been able to bring the whole thing out.

Nice Buck! Had a guy bring me in a buck looked just like that yestedrday. Except for a small kicker at the base.
If you saved the lower jaw bone I can get a pretty close age from that. But your either going to have to take a couple good clear pic's looking down on the teeth and from the side or I will have to see it.

Nice Buck but I doubt that he is the Big Boy in the area. There are too many mature 3X3 and 4X4 BT bucks around.

Great deer, and I would have to say its around a 3 1/2 yr old great deer. Sounds like a good hunt.

Right on, thanks for a well written story and the pics of a nice buck...not sure how to determine the age, but don't let anything or anyone distract form your hunt. It sounds like it was everything you wanted it to be and that's what it's all about.
Congrats,
Coon
