[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5519034, member: 17"] There can be a huge difference in wear from one location to another. Much depends on what the primary food sources are in the area. Deer eating ag crops won't display anywhere near the wear deer eating woody browse and acorns do. I don't have to figure. I've seen the studies with known-age deer. NO aging method is all that accurate. That's why I use several and go with the average unless there is something truly compelling to throw out one of the ages. For example, toothwear almost never over-ages a deer. In fact, the older the deer actually is, the more toothwear tends to under-age the deer. So if a younger looking deer shows the toothwear of a much older deer, the deer is almost certainly much older than it appears. [/QUOTE]
