Thanks for posting, I was wondering when it would show up. I just checked mine and it was an 8 year old Manti bull that went about 330.
Which unit did you hunt?

1st bull tooth of 6 years. Right at 350
2nd bull tooth of 9 years. Just under 330
Deer tooth of 6 years.
Not to start any fights, but I don't believe the data. I'd bet a steak dinner the first bull is over 6 and that buck is over 6 as well.

Pumaguy I'll bet you a Pepsi and raise you a Dr pepper that tooth data is as far from right as you can get. On some animals it may be close and on others I've seen.....way off. Does make you wonder if the technique is inaccurate or wonder with all the teeth they get...maybe some get switched?Sure looks like the road less though

All three are Bookcliffs animals. Not this past year though. One roadless elk, one road late season bull, and the buck is off the south side on rifle. If that 1st bull is a 6 year old Bookcliffs bull, boy would I have liked to see him in another 3 or 4 years. Funny thing is we have sheds from a bull damn near a twin to him that the son just picked up this years drops and they are almost identical. Thing is he has the past six years of sheds and they are all branched antler.
When the teeth are cut, an age and a "rating" are given. The "rating" ranges from A-C. An "A" would suggest that the tooth was read with a high confidence of accuracy. Anything other than a "A" rating, I wouldn't put too much confidence in.
I'm not sure why the ratings are not included in the report issued from the division.
As a side note, I have noticed that even self-proclaimed wildlife experts have been terrible at judging age classes of deer and elk. I have even heard people give guesses of age from looking at sheds. I think it stems from an inability to look past the antlers, mixed with lack of knowledge of other physiological traits that can aid in aging an animal.
Antler size can be extremely variable and can be a poor way to judge age.
