Do we have any wildlife biologists onboard here? Most deer that are killed in the woods by hunters are 1-5 years old and occasionally 6-8 years old. Jawbones tell it all. I have never seen a whitetail jawbone aged anything over 12(those were from the 60's), and I've seen a lot of aged jawbones. Not saying it isn't possible, just saying never heard of it.
