so here lately I have been hearing more and more people on fb, in person and on TBH say "I shot an old buck that had no teeth." sometimes when asked they have said yes his teeth were all gone. I really have a hard time believing that. I am guessing that they are either exaggerating or not looking far enough back. so anyone got any pics of jaw bones of really really old deer?

This is the only old one I took pics of. I have seen some older than this buck. All deer have some teeth or what is left of a few teeth. They will be worn to the or below the gum-line.Last edited by texashunter56; 01-10-2018, 08:59 PM.

The buck I killed this year was down to/below the gum line, top and bottom, with no visible molars at all. I checked all the way back and I was shocked at what I saw. I’ve looked at plenty of jawbones to know what I’m looking at. I did not take a pic which I’m still mad about but I know what I saw and felt. This deer did not have an ounce of fat on his body which tells me that he was older also.
