Here is a picture of the jawbone from a doe I killed a couple of years back. How old do you estimate her to be?

8 1/2, did both jawbones look like that sometimes one side will be worn more than the other because they chew all of their food on the same side

Both sides were like that. Of all the charts I've looked at, none of them have a jawbone that is this worn.

I have never seen one like that and I have seen alot of jawbones :shock:

I would boil it and then dip it and put iti in a shadow box to hang on the wall. That is impresive. Well to me it is impressive. 8)

Yeah, I would think she had eluded a many a hunter and messed up a bunch of good hunts. The place I killed her at gave me a big ol "THANK YOU" for it. They figured the same thing. She was a godd sized doe, probably around 115 Lbs.
