Picture of a doe taken last week where I'm going bowhunting tomorrow morning.
What's your best guess on this doe. Pot-bellied, a bit sway backed with a long snout. I bet she's got some years on her. Almost looks like some sort of camel relative. What do you think, does she have any teeth left.?

This is a tricky one with only one picture. I agree with the items you pointed out. However, they are somewhat contradicted by the narrow circumference of the neck, the thin ears, the indented hips and the small to average leg glands and dew claws. I can't see the hoof size that good but they appear to be in proportion to the lower leg diameter and not greater in diameter. I think the fact that she is not rotund in front of the hips is an indicator of an illness or injury or a deficiency in calcium or sodium. There are no nipples visible and I don't see the tell-tale rubs that give away the fact that the deer recently birthed fawns. Everything considered, I think this deer is only 3 1/2.
IMO, she doesn't look old but is far from healthy looking. As stated, with only one picture and no other references to her size it's hard for me to tell. I will say this though, that deer would have a very tough time surving a winter around here if she looks that bad now.
We are determined that before the sun sets on this terrible struggle, our flag will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand, of overwhelming power on the other.
