    How old is this old blacktail?

    Got this guy this week, 4x2 blacktail. Pretty stoked cause I passed on a spiker in the morning and ate tag soup when it came to blacktails last year.
    So how old do you think he is? Has he regressed from his best days? Having no brow tines, does it mean anything?
    Included are pics of his teeth which are pretty warn down so I figured he is up there in age.
    Region 2 hybrid area.

    Nice buck! Impossible to tell the age without actually aging the teeth, but it has nice thick bases and a Roman nose. Great old warrior!
    Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!

    Beauty buck! Do they still do the “tooth for the truth” program, or did that get gutted as well?
