this is the truth! We started aging them through matsons, boy have we been humbled. I just go with mature or not, from there it’s Kappow or let walk.

Normally, your spikes and little forkys are 1.5 year olds. Your standard Washington “legal” 3x3 and dinky 4x4’s are 2.5 year olds. After that, it can be tough guessing. I’ve seen bucks that I would guess are 3.5 year olds turn out to be a couple of years older. I have also seen deer I thought were old and over 5.5 year olds end up being 3.5 and 4.5 year olds. But if I had to guess I would say he is one year either side of 4.5 years old. Maybe the picture doesn’t do it justice but my guess on the score would be in the 140’s-150’s range.
