i killed a doe last Sunday evening. When I pulled back her lips to look the jawbone I could see significant wear, so I pulled it to check. I'm thinking she was 5.5 based on tooth wear. What are your thoughts?

Thanks.

What TN Larry said, minimum 5 1/2, but I would guarantee she is actually older than that. At least 6 1/2.
We are largely ag — their teeth seem to wear a bit less than textbook — for instance a solIid 3.5 may look more like a textbook 2.5. So I can definitely get behind a 6.5+. Thanks.

I've been trying to build out a whole set of teeth, so she fills in a gap!
