Maybe I should go look at the site but it looks like a whitetail deal...will they do the same for a mule deer I wonder?

I just looked more at the site. I might just do that.
Check one of your teeth, then go get one out of a road kill, then maybe somebody else from the site..... I would be interested to see the results....

I have always been curious how much of it was genetics, feed, and health vs age.....

Matson's laboratory in montana ages mule deer and are easy to work with. We've sent samples to them in the past. It's like $5 a sample so not bad at all. MatsonsLab.com
Yes for mule deer Matson's is probably your best bet. Aging by using the cementum is slightly different between whitetail and mule deer.

I was all ready to go with Matsons but they have a $60 minimum charge. I don't need to know that bad.

I think I'm pretty close ;) ( and I only charge a shot of Jack Daniels)
Do you also need Jackelope to supply some Saltines to cleanse the palate between agings?

Charlie includes dumpster diving in his taxidermy charges and that's saying a lot when he's diving in his dumpster.
