I’m planning to send the incisors off to be aged but I’m curious what some of y’all would age this one at.

5.5+ Let us know what the test shows when they look at them under a microscope.

Depends on what it was eating... not really accurate like we were led to believe.

If deer live in an area where they grow a lot of peanuts, their teeth wear quickly.

If deer live in an area where they grow a lot of peanuts, their teeth wear quickly.

Can't really tell past 5.5 but I'm going to say that one likely 6.5 to 7.5. Let us know if you send it off and confirm.

Not from my experience. In areas with lots of row crops it is very hard to distinguish by the jaw bones alone deer between 3.5 and 6.5.

Trail cameras and known ages of deer busted this myth a long time ago.
