Is the 4th tooth worn smooth no ridges to the touch, if so 6.5 yrs. Work your way back to the 5th. If the 5th is smooth 7.5 yrs, 6th tooth 8.5, after that cannot tell. Hard to tell from a pic need to have in hands. I have one 6.5.

Yea, after really looking at the jaw, it looks to me like 5/1/2, because of the ridge on the 4th tooth. Again would like to feel the tooth. At any rate old deer. I now have a set fawn thru 6 1/2, like you I too am glad to have a nice set of jaw bones. It took me 3 years to complete my set thru 6 1/2. I prob will never get any older than that.

aging deer by tooth wear is a noble concept, that is plaqued by overwhelming flaws. The most prominent being the fact that no one can ever check their answers, including the person who taught u and the one who taught him.
