What age is this jaw bone?

Aaron

5 year old buck +
This is a jaw bone from on of the heaviest bucks I have ever shot. It has been in my shed for over a year (2019)so it is a little dirty. I never got around to cleaning it up. I would love to hear how old you guys think this buck is. Also the inside mouth and antlers were dark brown. I have never seen a darker mouth on a deer. I had seen this buck a few times before season, and the body was huge. I would love to hear your guesses. Thanks guys.

I think it's two and a half Aaron.
 
The enamel on the first molar doesn't show wear in my opinion. So I'm guessing 2-1/2 years
 
Thanks
 
My "guess" would be 3.5
 
Thanks
