Can you make some age assumptions based on weight?

[tfran123]

Just curious and obviously teeth are the best measure, but on our land deer weights generally follow this guide:

1.5 - 125#
2.5 - 150 - 160#
3.5 - 185#

Now we just harvested a deer with minimal mass, just a basic 8 with a 15" spread. Around the chest it measured 47" and dressed at 238#.

The question is could this be a 2.5 or 3.5 year old? I am going to age the jaw but really wanted some experts to weigh in.

Thanks!!!
