Title: Black-Tailed Deer Tooth Aging
Post by: Chipmunk on November 11, 2021, 04:48:14 PM: Did anyone submit a blacktail tooth from their 2020 buck? Well it doesn't appear we'll be getting results...
A few months ago my 2020 deer info (except age) was logged under my WILD ID account so I knew the results were close. Checked today and the 2020 info was gone! I did some searching on the WDFW site and was bummed to read the project was discontinued. Where’s my tooth!?!?! I’d be interested to know if anyone has any inside to why the project was killed. I always looked forward to getting my buck age back year after year.

Really curious about the age of this deer. Never seen teeth like that! I guess he could be a sugar hound. To many black berries? 😂
