          Mature. Especially on protein. Beyond that its hard to say whether he is 5 or 8

            I believe 6.5 all day long. Possibly a tad older being HF deer

              I believe you're closer if theres a correct answer. The concaves and dentine width back your number.

                  I know aging teeth can be hit or miss, heck, aging deer in general is hard unless you have an ear tag or GPS tracker. I’ve been managing this place for 10 years, it’s still hard to judge.

                  This was a doe that we were arguing about, or a friendly disagreement.

                    Those teeth show 5+. Which simply means that deer could have been 5, or he could have been 12...or anywhere in between.

                    Fence height is irrelevant.

                        I agree, we had a known ear tagged doe that the teeth aged 4.5, we know she was 8.5. The head does not lie on aging.

                          Mature! Have killed several high fence bucks that were protein fed and and known age. Their jaw said they were 4 1/2 years old and they were actually 9 1/2 years old. As it has been said many times before aging by teeth is (SWAG) and by no means that definite science. You can easily add several years to a deer that has consumed a diet other than their natural forage.

                              Lots of good agreement here. We are gradually learning how old deer teeth may look.
