I got my tooth data back from my Montana deer last year. They aged him at only 2 years old. I was thinking he was like 4-5 years old. Does anyone have pictures of their bucks that know how old they are? post them.

Wow Craig. That's one big two year old

WOW!!!

Two years old and looks like that....he would have been a JIM DANDY at 5-7 years old.

Way to shoot a baby before he had time to mature!

That's a heckuba deer for two years. I'd go back this year and find his daddy.

That's a GMO deer! Great buck!

Must have sent in the only baby tooth he had left !

I looked over a lot of young bucks and this guy definitely looked more mature. This is what they sent me.

Nice buck. JP's right about finding daddy! Good luck this season.

Looks like a younger buck to me, I woulda guessed 3 or 4.

Skyvalhunter · « **Reply #13 on:** June 23, 2017, 08:44:49 AM »

Wouldn't have guessed 2 yrs old

OutHouse · « **Reply #14 on:** June 23, 2017, 08:50:40 AM »

That's crazy but it makes sense. If I recall correctly, that huge tri-pod buck from years ago was aged at 3.5--and it was something like an 8 by 10, 30 inch spread.

DOUBLELUNG · « **Reply #15 on:** June 23, 2017, 10:17:32 AM »

I'd have guessed 3.5 from the pic. However, with mild winters, good feed, minerals and genes young deer can grow amazingly fast. I believe the tooth data over my own eyes. I have seen quite a few 2.5 year old bucks over the years that were 20-22", 4x4 (with and without eyeguards). On the flip side, I once checked a small Wyoming 2x2 that I had already decided was a yearling, until I flipped down his lower lip and saw extensive tooth wear - he was lab aged at 5.5

That's crazy. Must have had two years with great feed and no stress.

Craig · « **Reply #17 on:** June 23, 2017, 11:19:31 AM »

It's a draw unit with not much pressure. So not much stress on him except winters.

Buck I shot in Wyoming in 2015, I was expecting him to be 4-5 years as well, ended up he was only about 3 years old

Jpmiller · « **Reply #19 on:** June 25, 2017, 10:55:37 AM »

Lol I hope I end up with one of those baby deer one day. You get the big antlers and the meat isn't as tough. Best of both worlds.
