can someone give me an age on these teeth? thanks

based on the models that i have and doing this off of your pictures instead of having the actual jaw bone in front of me; i come up with 4 1/2. it does bare some similarities to a 3 1/2 though.

My guess would be closer to 3 1/2 years but as already stated its tough to get a sure thing from the photos.

I would say no more than 3 1/2 too. The tops of the teeth (on the tongue side)are still very pointed so it isn't an older animal. The fourth tooth from the front (in this deer)is the first permanent tooth this deer has grown and it would begin to show wear first. It still appears to rather sharp so I am saying no more than 3 1/2. Maybe even 2 1/2.
What was the body size and rack conformation?

180lb dressed ,10pt , 21.5" inside spread from the upper peninsula of michigan.

here is a picture of the deer

he's a brute!!

By the size of the rack on that deer I will now say I doubt that buck is only 2 1/2 yrs old. It could be possible but it would be a long shot. I will stick with 3 1/2. For a 2.5 yr old buck to have a rack that large would be great.
If it was only 2.5 you have incredible trophy potential on your land. That would have been a HUGE buck in two or three years.

I tried something different this year. I checked into a website, www.deerage.com. You can send the front 2 teeth in and have them aged. Supposedly alot more accurate than wear aging. They do forensic aging of whitetail deer using the cementum annuli method.

They can take these teeth and basicly shave the tips of the roots off and check it under the microscope, count the rings of cementum just like counting the number of rings in a tree. I had got the results of my last october harvest back recently and had guessed my buck to be 5.5 years old and found him to be 6.5 years old. The most basic kit costs around $20 and can take up to 120 days for the results.

I picked up my mount today and a bunch of us were having a conversation about tooth wear and aging and found that mine along with most bucks taken around here do not show much wear for their age. I would think the cementum annuli method would be alot more accurate than checking tooth wear. $20 isn't all that much to find out find out for sure.
