How old would y’all say this deer was?

Tooth wear aging
Tooth wear can be so inconsistent. Hard to say just off those two pics alone.
Also location of deer, supplemental feed and if so how much etc.
We have deer that are 7+ years old that have tooth wear of a much younger deer because they eat a lot of supplemental feed.Last edited by dstrong; 11-30-2020, 04:12 PM. -
I don`t know how old he was
But that is as old as he will ever get.Comment

Based on tooth wear only 4 or 5 tops. However as stated above lots of variables. The only way to know is to send the front teeth off for testing.Last edited by Archery1st; 11-30-2020, 04:21 PM.Comment

There are corn feeders around but only seasonal.Comment

From the picture I would say 6. Teeth still show 5 tops..which is not uncommon. If you have the front teeth send one off to Deerage.comOriginally posted by bboswell View PostWell y’all read the teeth older than I did but it still doesn’t match the deer IMO
They will slice the tooth up, dye it and look at it under a microscope and tell you the correct age. I think it's $20-$30Comment

Teeth tell me 4.5Comment

What are y’all seeing to put that age on the teeth? I’m no expert but I see very little wear.Comment
