wtnhunt Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Does are tougher to age than bucks, but that sounds like a really healthy mature doe. Hard to say an age really without looking at the teeth. Welcome to the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeaveragehunter Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 could be as young as 3. Doe's weights tend to have a bell shaped curve when plotted vs there age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinman802 Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 thats a good question, i was thinking the same thing. i shot a doe in late doe season that weighed 175 after hanging for 4 days. she had hardly any teeth because they were so worn down. beggest deer i have ever shot, buck or doe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 I recommend this tool: https://www.qdma.com/store/details.asp?id=157&catid=4&catname=Management%20Tools Works well and comes with a DVD instruction and some other stuff.

Rhino Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 could be as young as 3. Doe's weights tend to have a bell shaped curve when plotted vs there age. Yep that's the case here. We've been participating in DMAP here for 20 years now. All that data has shown the wet does on our place usually weigh the most at 4.5 years of age.

But it is definitely a mature doe.:yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
