What's the oldest deer you've taken?
No guesses....aged by jawbone or by other means, professionally.
Reason I bring this up.....here's some of the answers I[m seeing on the Mathews board....and they're pretty remarkable.

What was the oldest deer that you shot that was actually aged by somebody that knows what they are doing? ( not just a rough guess) The oldest one that i shot was 10 1/2. kind of scrubby looking dark chocolate rack.
8 1/2 year old doe. Her teeth were worn down to the bone/gumline
9 1/2 12 pt. taken in Mexico this past Jan.
7 1/2 year old 10 point 
9.5 year old doe

Another answered that his was a 9.5 yr old....and had this photo to accompany it. Is this deer 9.5 (in your opinions)?

RE: What's the oldest deer you've taken?
My 8 point was aged at6 1/2 and he wasn't too impressive. Good rack, only 16 1/2" wide.
The one taken this year by 15 y/o Mikey was 18 1/2'' wide, 10 points, over 200lbs and he was aged at 4 1/2.
The oldest I've ever had aged was a grey faced 7 pointer with a crappy rack and they said he was 7 1/2.

Dan is fully trained and actually did contract work for DEC aging deer kills and road kills for a few years. He aged the rifle kill buck I shot last year at 3.5 years old. I've shot does that I know were MUCH older than him but never had them aged officially.

Jeff, too hard to tell from a pic, especially of a mounted deer....
