I know of one doe that is 18+ years old in Northern Minnesota. My dad lives up there and in the winter months they feed the deer shelled corn here and there through out the winter in his yard (10 yards from the house) and the same doe (bear but) has been coming in for 18 years. Who knows how old she was when she 1st started coming in. The doe does not have a tail so thats how they know its her. She also has a handful or so of scars from the rifle hunters on her. She hasn't had fawns for about 4 years now. Her back is somewhat saggy but you would think she would look in allot worse shape for her age. She actually looks pretty darn good. She is by far the boss hog around there. Whenever any other deer are in the yard she is the boss and they all know it. Dad always gets nervous after gun season wondering if she made it through. He hunts the same woods/area and has never seen her on stand that he knows of. He wouldn't shoot her anyway but he's surprised he's never seen her while bow hunting.
