The average life span of a whitetail is between three and four years. However, they have been known to live up to 19 years. The age of mature deer can be determined by a trained person examining the teeth in the lower jaw for replacement and wear.A more accurate way of aging deer is to stain a thin section of tooth and then examine it under a microscope. Each year, a new ring appears between the layers of cementum in the root portion of the deer's tooth. The researcher simply counts these dark annual rings to determine the animals age.

They have up to a 15 yr life expectancy, but the average is 2 years for males and 3 years for females in the wild.

Depends on how good the aim of the hunter is. I hate this time of year. To see them running frantically trying to get away and not knowing that they may be running right towards a cetain death. Those big brown eyes. sniff.
