That's an easy one, Ron.
3 1/2 years old.
Your picture is perfect. All I need to age the deer is a close-up of the grinding surfaces of the teeth on the lower jaw. The picture should be taken from the cheek side, not the tongue side.

This deer is also a 3 1/2 year old.
The molars, or grinding teeth are made up of two substances....enamel which is the white part, and dentine which is brown and resembles tooth decay, but is actually just a softer substance than the enamel.
Molars are critical for grinding browse and other vegetation before passing the pre-chewed food on through the four chambers of the digestive tract.
Typically molars on the lower jaw are worn down to the gum line by the time they are approaching 10 years old.

You're close; it's another 3 1/2 year old.
Remind me after the season is over; I'll be glad to run a couple deer aging classes for you guys. I can handle up to 16 people per class.
Save your jaw bones.

This deer is slightly older than the previous submissions. It's a pretty solid 4 1/2 year old.
Congrats......!
