How old do they get?

A Georgia deer hunter harvested a 20-year-old doe in November 2024 that is likely the oldest deer ever killed in the state.

That's impressive!

Oldest I've seen from the wild was 19 1/2 (based on cementum annuli). But I know of a doe 21 1/2 in captivity.

Better a quick death by bullet than starvation or coyote. Just my thought.

Wow, I never witness a deer older than 12. That's very cool to hear.
