Talk about old....

[DoubleRidge]

This doe has got to be one of the oldest deer I've ever gotten a trail cam pic of...not sure how to even attempt an age estimate?
Any guesses?

Hard to say, but she definitely is mature.

 

[JCDEERMAN]

Geez! No idea but I'd say 7.5+?? She'd be on the hit list for sure. I've had a few particular does on my target list in years past

 

[megalomaniac]

13+

 

[Ski]

Over 10 I'd think.

Redblood got a picture today of a doe that looks just as old! Ederly!

For a while, one of my clients on the Cumberland Plateau held the Matson's Lab record for oldest wild deer ever cementum annuli aged. The doe was aged at 19 1/2 years old. I hear since, they have aged a couple in the low 20s.

Man I had one like that the other day at 20 yards. I wanted to bust her so bad but didn't have time to mess with her. I'll try again when I've got more time on my hands. She looked like a wiener dog coming through the woods way in the back of a line of does watching every deer in front of her the whole way. I was glad I had climbed up about 30' cause she was still trying to check me out up above the tops of the smaller trees around me.

I bet that old gal would be tough as shoe leather.
