Buck with no upper teeth
« on: Nov 30, 2020, 09:32:57 PM »
My uncle was cutting a 150# 5 point Maine  buck Sunday. He mentioned that when cutting the horns off and noticed this bucks top teeth were fully ground down to the gums. Assumed initially this was a 2.5 y.o. buck but have never seen that before in a deer that age. The bottoms had a lot of wear,  but still present. Wondering how old this deer might be and if the weight and antler size would be lack of nutrition due to the teeth? I know that antler size can decrease in a deer past its peak age, but the weight surprises me

Could be, just strikes me as a 2.5 yo deer.

Short face, small pedicles. Tough from a pic like that though

Yeah agreed. Everything about it on the outsides reads 2.5. The teeth I have never seen before... maybe he was trying to eat gravel

LOL.

Pull a front tooth and send it in to deerage.com if you really want to know.

Looks like 2.5 to me.

Had one a couple years ago that had upper fangs. Got one in the beetle thank now with the same thing. This is the 3rd time i have seen this..
