Question
Was wondering how old this buck is, my 10yr old harvested it in Wright county Missouri. He looked to be very mature and old.
Hayden,
Congratulations to your son! That’s a great picture and someone did a wonderful job cleaning the jaw!!
Based on the wear and replacement technique it appears his first and second molars (fourth and fifth teeth back) are showing more dentine (brown stuff in the middle) than enamel. This indicates the bucks is at least four years old!
Enjoy creation,
