Age these teeth

[JSR11]

How old was this deer?

[30-30]

Looks like 3.5 or 4.5 but it sure favored those front teeth.

[DTala]

at least 4.5, right pic say 5.5

Here is the top jaw

at least 4.5, right pic say 5.5

I agree with this.

3.5

My guess is the broken tooth on the rt side made him favor the left side. Causing the uneven wear.

[30-30]

The rear teeth say 2.5 and the fronts say 5.5+. Aging by tooth wear is not nearly an exact science. Generally, when the dentine (brown part in the center of each tooth) is wider than the enamel, (white part surrounding the dentine) the deer is probably over 4.5. But tooth wear varies by region, what the deer eats, etc.

example in the sand hill regions such as Gonzales or Guadelupe county, teeth get wore down faster

Very weird wear pattern. Did he have anything wrong with his upper or lower jaw?

[JSR11]

No he looked old to me. I've tried to upload a pic of him but it keeps failing on me
