Anyone good at aging does?

[Kurdawg]

Few old looking run down does. Also a few pics of what all the other does look like on same cameras. Are they old, or just run down? Tons of water, plenty of protien, etc, tons of brows and food plots.

What all others look like.

[Mudslinger]

Top one looks older than dirt, but the bottom looks like she is in prime breeding age.

Might be nursing triplets...

Other camera old doe?

This time of year is hard to tell. Making milk for fawns effects their body weight.

I have a doe on camera that could be a twin to this doe...3+ years of history. She's older than dirt!

I have a similar doe at the house and have determined she is older, she is also nursing twins.

Not really a good technique for estimating doe ages. Of course, you can differentiate fawns, and yearlings to some degree (shortened rostrum length), but, there is a large margin of error in differentiating adult (2.5+) does. Like others, I've seen deer that I guesstimated to be 'old', but no good method out there. But, from a management sense, there's not much point in trying to age them. Old does are as prolific as younger adult does. When trying to meet a harvest quota, don't worry about age, just shoot does until you're done.

Top doe was on the ark with Noah!
