Where to send Deer Teeth for Aging

[bossbowman]

We have had good luck with deerage.com. We have a relative age on deer we sent in... from trail camera pictures, watching them over the years, and just our observations when they are alive and on the ground. They have always hit the age we were guessing to this point.

This has been from the last 2 years. I know they have moved locations before then and things may have changed? Maybe why people had bad results in the past?

I know there are some studies from the past that discount this type of methods results, but I haven't seen anything recent.

I'm sure it isn't perfect, but for us it has been a way better tool for us than the old looking at the jawbone method.

X2!

I’ve sent in half a dozen or so teeth to deerage.com, I’ve had great results each time. Each buck was right in line with what we thought from multiple years of TC pictures.

Same here, we sent in a spike a few years ago the guys at Fairfiled state park said was 2.5 years old. Now this deer looked 1.5 all day long to me but the park guys stated the deer there ran on the smaller side and by the jaw they aged it where they did. Sent the incisors off to deerage.com just for grins and gave no indication what age might be and did indicate it was a spike and sure enough it came back aged 2.5. That made a believer out of me.
