You can't age a Jawbone like that. You write down five plus on your data sheet and move forward. Best you can do is cut out the incisors and send them aoff for cementum annuli aging if you really want to know. For what it is worth, I have sent incisors off from jawbones not so dissimilar from that one that came back as 12 years old.

I’m kicking myself for not pulling the jaw bones out of a couple of this seasons bucks.

Toofer truth...

My point was, for excessively old deer (as determined by tooth wear) by which you cannot estimate an age CA would be the only way to accurately determine age.
Tooth wear is generally pretty accurate out to 5.5 years old...anything beyond that is a stab in the dark based on tooth wear of course.

Appreciate the insight Scott, I’ll pull the incisors and send them in.
