Muley Buck Age

[nontyp]

I just received the tooth age results back from Matson’s on this public land muley I shot last year. How old do you think he is? I’ll post the results later.

I have proven to myself that I can't tell 5 from 10 yoa on a Mule deer. That is why I send teeth in. My guess is that if he was 5 or less this thread wouldn't exist, so I will say 10 which has more to do with human tendencies than anything that I see in the deer.

I suck at this too. I’ve learned my lesson. Hopefully I kill something worth aging this year. It’s a very cool buck. Young face with great mass. I’ll go 4.5. Do to that choice he’s probably 11.23.
