Default RE: deer with little or no teeth?

maybe you must have mis-understood[:-] i have shot a few over the hill does in this same area with most teeth grinded down to nothing. they usually look fully developed and grey haired and around 70 to 80 pounds. the deer my brother took was maybe 40-50 pounds and with a red coat more consistant of a just barley over a year old deer(born late last year).its looks too big to be a fawn comparing it to the ones im seeing this time of the year. most does i see are mostly grey coat with there fawns in red or the bigger ones mixed red-grey. you have to understand this part of new jersey grows way smaller deer than the rest of the state more like florida i bet. im gonna ask a biologist. my bet is that the feeding in the sandy soil on top of the bad nutrition and a fawn milking off the yearling allowed it grind and to not grow proper teeth.
