I posted this in management section but thought I would do here also.
This is a broad study using trained biologist to age deer by tooth wear. It also used lab testing. It used trained biologist to age deer by tooth wear. It also used lab testing.
All of the deer that were aged were deer of a known age. The results are not very impressive - the older the deer were the lower the accurate aging was.
With the advent of protein IMO the tooth wear is much less than before protein feeding became popular.
The best way to determine age of a deer IMO is use of trail cameras to follow deer over a 3-5 year period -
