Matt, I know that you shoot for age at your place. When you pull the jawbones on the bucks you kill does it match with what you thought the deer was from pictures more often than not?

About 30-40% of the time absolutely not. We’ve tracked deer from age 2 until their death at 4,5,6 and even 8 years old. We have a lot of deer age younger than we know their true age to be.

Do y'all think the trial cam pics confirm he's 3.5 yr old too? I really thought he was 4.5

beRAD, I’d call that deer 4 on the hoof myself, especially if the dates are right on your camera.
But he could be 3.

From the jawbone, that deer is 3 & 1/2 years-old. The last tooth on which the decay (brown part) is wider than the enamel (white part) as you look straight down on the teeth is the 3 & 1/2 year tooth.

Too young if you are trying to grow good deer if not who cares if his rack made you happy.
Keep your booger hooker off the bang switch.
