From the teeth we know the deer is at least 2 1/2 (third molar has 3 cusps) (aging beyond that requires closer examination).
But, I would guess not much older, contrary to what we would like to believe, The chances of a deer living to 4 1/2 is rare and one making it to 5 1/2 is very rare, Not that they can't we just won't let them. Doc
