These are from the deer I shot on New Year’s Eve, What little I know about tooth wear and comparing enamel against dentine I believe this deer was 5.5 or older. The fourth tooth (1st molar) is flattened out and really worn. What do you think?

Agree with Hook-N-Line. Sand can make a big difference.
