Title: Tooth age on Quinault bull
Post by: Falcon on June 20, 2025, 07:18:43 AM
Good morning.

Finally got my aging report back on bull from 2022.   Any guesses?   I will chime in with the answer after a few posts.

WAG of 8.5 years.

I was going off the antlers, after looking at the pic more I think he’s younger than 8.5, probably around the 5-6 range.

Back in the day we used to be able to hunt Subbase Bangor antlerless deer archery.
I was hunting the Annex area end of first week in Dec and shot a big antlerless deer I thought was a doe
It turned out to be a buck that had already shed
You were required to contact the base biologist for a tooth extraction and  tissue sampling
Got info back it was 16 years old

Over 10, hmm 10.5?
Title: Re: Tooth age on Quinault bull
Post by: cohocrazy on June 20, 2025, 05:50:56 PM
I would've guessed 5.5 prior to your hint so I guess I would've been way off.
I'll go 11.5. WAG

That’s why the body size is small.
