A few buddies and I went to take a CWD sample from a thought to be Road Kill. When we found her, we noticed she wasnt road kill, but couldnt figure out what had killed her. We just thought she was young and didnt make it through the winter well, but she was healthy but a small deer. We got our sample and decided to age her, and found what you see. Practically nothing! probably one of the oldest deer I have ever aged, Well i say aged, but we just said she was a definate 6.5+. We now think she may have died of pneumonia or just old age. Sorry the pictures arent as great but you can see what we seen. Thought I would see what you guys thought!

yeah the pics are very blurry, it was all I had at the time, we cut them out, I will try to get a better one today. You really cant tell, but there is litterally NO teeth, they are all almost worn to the gums and the rear molar is smooth and almost worn gone.

That one was on the ARK. She is old, period. really hard to tell exactly, unless you ask Noah. I would put her at 8.5+. Hope you pulled the jaw bones, You may never see one that old again.

At least 6.5 even with the crappy pics, but one could possible argue much older with better photos.

6.5 at least. But based on the chart posted, it would fall into 7.5. It may depend on which chart you learned from as to what you call the age as old as this one is.
