I've never received a letter.
They don't send letters anymore. You have to look it up on the fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov site and poke around.  It will get posted when it is done.  You may have to put in your Wild Id.  I can't remember off hand.

The tooth goes to a lab where they cut it to determine age.  It is not sent back.

No letter comes back, on-line checking only for results if you submitted your WILD ID# with the tooth as stated above.  Letters haven't been sent out for quite some time.

Very probable.   Antlers to not tell age in many cases.  Good enough nutrition and you get some good growth.

Cool info, I just looked up the boar I shot in Spring of 2012.  I had guessed it at 3 but turns out it was 4.

It's actually voluntary to send in a tooth. I've got little info back. When I didn't it told me that my first bear I shot was almost 17 years old!

When they send the letter, will it have any info on the bear's overall health? Can they get that from a tooth? Seems like they could determine if the bear had any vitamin deficiencies. It would be really helpful if the letter I receive says the bear has been eating berries or garbage.

They do, and to save postage they also send you the winning numbers for the following weeks lottery in the same envelope and if you're really lucky Kate Uptons phone number is on the letterhead....

Great! It would also be sweet if they could tell me the bear's favorite color so I know what color backing to put on the rug.
