Only 2 years old

[Craig]

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.

That buck had good genes.

Wow Craig.    That's one big two year old

[jrebel]

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!

 too mature at the bases for two.

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]

Wouldn't have guessed 2 yrs old

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.

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]

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

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.
