Congratulations !

Although there is a little abnormal wear, this deer also appears to be a 3 1/2.

Enjoy,,,

dick I have a question. the 2 jaw bones I just posted for you. one was much larger over all in size, atleast an inch longer and wider. the row of teeth itself was also about an inch longer. yet both same age. does that come into play at all? or is it just like people, some just got big heads?

Keep in mind that there can be considerable variation in body development,  especially so during a mild winter like we had last year.

Genetics too, will play a role during the overall development of body mass; like people, some deer are simply have a larger body stature than others.

Interestingly there can be a significant difference among same age deer.  I have a number of same age jaws that I use in my deer aging classes that  show natural differences in jaw bone size.
