As I said on FB, I appreciate being in the loop from first blood to recovery! Made my night and my girls loved that someone I knew killed a big buck on opening night! Good luck with your doe patrol for the next 4 months!!!

Awesome! Go learn the ground so you can take him when he's old enough.

Final picture until he goes on the wall. My favorite new tradition is one where I take a picture with Bryce!

After seeing this deer in person - I had my suspicions on his age. Having it confirmed as a 5.5 year old - just makes it that much sweeter. As you all know getting a deer (regardless of where you hunt) to 5+ is something special. I am so amazed at the body size and antler potential of these 5 year old majestic whitetail!!

Congratulations Albert!

Yes beautiful buck

Thanks all! Deff just a cherry on top when getting the aging certificate back.

i know it’s not for everyone but it’s something I get a lot of joy out of and I have enjoyed building up a data set over the years.

 

[Outdoorsfellar]

Good for you !

 

[finelyshedded]

Awesome stuff Al! Congratulations again!

 

[Big_Holla]

Pretty cool to get the confirmation on age! He was a brute!

 

["J"]

That’s cool that you’re able to do that. Just confirming what you already had an idea of

Nice job who did the aging on your buck and did you send the lower jaw bone in ? I would like to do the same for mine.

Thanks

Heather as deer age. Deerage.com

when you buy the packet you can choose Lower jaw, front teeth or front four teeth. My suggestion is send her the Lower jaw and have them take what they need/want. This is my 4th deer I’ve sent to them and they do a nice job!!

cementum annuli aging isn’t 100% but it’s like 85+ on whitetails.

so far - I can tell you from what I’ve guessed to what it came out as I’m about 90% accurate.

let me know how it goes for you Gern!
