Default RE: Aging deer (Jaw bone pics)

I notice the jaw bone of the younger deer shows a huge difference from one side to the other. This is one of the problems with trying to age deer from teeth alone. Each deer has different chewing style which can affect tooth wear. Some deer simply chew more than others. Obviously this is an extreme example of this deer preferring one side, but I think it’s interesting.
