Tooth aging mule deer

[bbassi]

Is anyone sending a tooth (teeth) to Matson's this year? I shot a Mulie this year that showed signs of being pretty old and on the way down, but it could just be he was eating rocks and cactus. I'd be interested in getting him aged but I'm not interested enough to spend $75 on it. I was wondering if anyone else was in the same boat? I understand there were some folks that have bundled them in the past?

Pic for discussion,

We let WG&F do ours , it's free.
Their lab has been proven to be very accurate too.

Looks about 5 1/2 or so based on the tooth wear, maybe 6 1/2, but that can be deceiving in rocky areas.

Wanted to do the same last year but it wasn’t worth 75$ to me either.

Iv still got the jaw if you find some people to reduce the cost. I don’t remember but if I do it was like 75 for up to 3 animals or something

It's 4 animals, so less than $20 each if you can fill all 4 slots.

Any guesses on how old this guy would have been?

wow thanks that’s very helpful to know. I’ll have to save a few teeth in the future to send in together.
