Old....like 8+ old, my BIL has a set from one that he killed this past year that every tooth is almost worn down to the gum line in a straight line.

It's an old doe, that's all I can tell you. But great find! I've tried to go shed hunting here where I live, and have NEVER found a one

I've tried to go shed hunting here where I live, and have NEVER found a one gotta be where the bucks are I guess... some places are covered in deer sign but no sheds, others have lots of sheds. Keep looking and don't look for a whole antler, just look for a tine or part of a beam hidden by vegetation.

Im sure exposure has made them look worse but shes and old lady regardless! only thing exposure does is lightens the color of the dentine. Her 1st molars are worn completely flat and smooth and are almost gone down to the bone. It makes the jaws from my 5 1/2 year old look like a yearling. Exactly my point, the bleached white color makes it look even worse than it really is, which is an old doe no doubt.

Those teeth are just worn down because she chewed on her pipe all the time. She was really very young, but she had a rough life making her look much older. I am betting the meth didn't help much either, it really wears on the teeth!
