I may get flamed on here, but I'm pretty sure the only way to accurately gauge age is tooth wear. You can make guesses but they're basically just guesses without seeing the teeth
that or you watched it grow up, and then there is also the location to consider, some places with great gene's and genetic's and food, things can be a lot larger sooner, and the other way when conditions are less than great!

and to get a more honest guess on age you need better pictures, of the side, the pic's you have are iffy at best for guessing age!
nice buck though with potential, pending your goals!

Pretty much comes down to experience with deer in a particular region. Ages 1 through 3 is pretty easy. Gets tougher after that.

Tooth wear is good for the first few years but really not all that accurate after that since wear is dependent on the soil in the area and a deer's diet.

When it gets cooler I will spend more time with my spotter and camera adapter. Last year's pictures of a couple. Guesses on these
