Friend shot his first deer two days ago. It had a huge body and a rack that may throw off the estimate off, so I'll post it later. How old do you think it is?

4.5 from the textbook, I lean toward 5.5 though as cementum seems to underage. At 6.5 you always seem to see the flattening of molars. The cementum is plenty wide to justify 5.5 just not the wear. If I'm wrong blame Dr. John Copeland former wildlife biology professor LMU. My wife agreed and made better grades than me in that program.
