Another Guess the Age Buck

[ICMDEER]

I finally got the age of this buck from the G&F last week. We had another buck's teeth turned in, but they were either lost or broken so no info on him. Here's a quick summary: (And you can see it in the pic as well)

Three points on each side
Just over 29" wide
No eye guards/brows
Not real heavy or massive

We pretty much called him a management buck. But a 29" buck is always something that's maybe a notch better than management. But not a trophy.

How old do you think G&F aged him to be?

Total shot in the dark, 8 1/2

7 1/2
Really nice 3 by.

 

[PRCnut]

Big head and body so guessing 7 1/2+

 

[Sparks Shooter]

5.5 years old.-------SS

 

[Shadow]

He looks to have a huge body. With that big ugly horse face, I’m gonna say 6 or 7 atleast.

[DH56]

7.5

 

[PacificFork]

7.5-9.5

 

[wytex]

8 1/2, looks like very familiar genetics.

Oh, I forgot, no mature bucks in your area, 2 1/2 is my guess now.
Nice buck sir, good to see those big 3's coming out of the gene pool.

7.5

I think this has pretty much run its course. You people are good. The buck was aged at 7.5. I should have taken a pic of his molars. They were really worn; about shot. I thought he might have been older. The Game Warden even guessed him at 9.5.

He did have a big body and was in great shape.

Thanks for playing. No prizes but still fun.

7.25

 

[elkassassin]

He Does Look Like A Bruiser On The Body Size!

 

[SS!]

6.5

 

[Homer]

[SS!]

Look at the body size of that buck, for sure 6+

 

[BLooDTRaCKeR]

I heard the game warden guessed him at 9.5. So I’m guessing 7.5.

 

[Coyotebrowntrouthunter]

Haha was gonna guess 7.5
Sure has a super old white face on him.
Cool finding out how old they are. Great trophy and Congrats!

 

[Old Cowboy]

7 ++

Sicko.

 

[SS!]

Sicko.

His last name is jeffs

 

[BLooDTRaCKeR]

His last name is jeffs

That’s disturbing that you know that buck well enough to give him “Jeffs” as a last name. Must have named him after a relative of yours.

4.5

Oops, I just looked at the op and didn't scroll down. I was obviously off haha

 

[nontypical]

10???

 

[antlerradar]

I found these two sets of antlers from a big three similar to yours. A friend shot him the next year. Just a bit smaller than the sheds. Lab aged at 12. I would not be a bit surprised if your buck is 10 years old or better.

So…you are questioning the actual aging results?

no

 

[Homer]

no

...but you are saying this 7-1/2 year old buck is 10+??

 

[mobertok]

That would definitely be a trophy to me.

 

[SS!]

No he’s saying he wouldn’t be surprised if a buck is 10+

 

[Wiszard]

10.5

maybe I missed were the OP said the buck was 7 1/2. I thought we were still guessing.

 

[SS!]

The crazy sob did it! It worked. Let’s keep it going.

7! He’s 7!

 

[SS!]

This is what I came up counting the growth rings, clearly 7:

[ICMDEER]

Maybe I should start a whole new thread with the exact same buck and picture and see how many new guesses we get???

 

[SS!]

8?

 

[Shadow]

I was gonna go first but SS beat me to it. I’ll guess the next one at 7.5

 

[Wiszard]

On the next pic, show his teeth.
