I am not a teeth aging professional…. How old is this buck? 4th tooth is 3/8” wide, one side is almost gone

brokeno · 12-28-2021, 02:37 PM

9 or 11.

EastTexasMan · 12-28-2021, 02:41 PM

Dude was 125# on the hoof. Extremely run down

Johnson · 12-28-2021, 03:18 PM

By his teeth 6. Nice buck congrats.

RMW · 12-28-2021, 04:05 PM

9+

GarGuy · 12-28-2021, 04:07 PM

That deer passed 6, 5 years ago

EastTexasMan · 12-28-2021, 04:12 PM

I agree. My best guess was 10+. It’s almost to the jaw bone and one side is impacted.

Have to ask Noah when you see him.,.. that deer may have been on the ark

Johnson · 12-28-2021, 07:28 PM

If that deer was 9 pulse all of his molars would be worn to the gum line like his 4th molar is. The teeth show 6.

Ancient

Typed a lot only to erase it. Just not worth it. Old as dirt.

3.5, I’da passed. Kidding of course, I’m no expert but I have never kilt one with teeth like that. Congrats!

Chance Love · 12-28-2021, 09:14 PM

By the “book” you could make an argument for 7 on those teeth. But as we all should know by now, that book doesn’t mean squat. That deer was likely 8-12 years old.

BTLowry · 12-28-2021, 09:27 PM

Need to know if you were supplementing with pea gravel before I can make an educated guess

The for sure answer is, as old as he will ever be

Thickman · 12-28-2021, 10:13 PM

Old

Mex. Bowhunter · 12-28-2021, 10:20 PM

I'd say 8/9. We normally see more wear on 10+

El Antiguo, the ancient one.

I do that a lot these days

Oh yeah...I agree with the majority, the deer is no spring chicken

Johnson · 12-29-2021, 08:09 AM

The deer in south Texas and in Mexico really show there teeth wear. I've hunted the hill country and west Texas most of my life and never seen a worn set of teeth till I started hunting Mexico. Maybe It's the brush they eat or maybe I never hunted a place were there are actually mature deer. One thing for sure if your lease is trying to shoot deer that are 6 pulse years old that fourth molar should be dished out. Unless the deer is a protine hog.

HUNTIN HARD · 12-29-2021, 08:34 AM

We shot this buck couple years ago and he looked old as dirt. Sent teeth off and came back 9. To me your deer looks about 7

Somewhere in elgato’s past post, he has pictures of a known 13 y/o from Mexico. They would make a good reference for comparison.
