Anyone ever age coyotes or wolves or coons or other fur bearing critters by their teeth at a lab?
I'm sure we've all looked at the teeth or condition of certain harvested animals and just wowed at the worn down teeth and notched ears and scrappy condition but how would you actually know otherwise?
It's big in the whitetail world in some places and fascinating to learn the actual age and maturity of individual animals.
I'm fixing to give it a try - they use cementum analysis to count the rings in teeth much like you would the growth rings in a tree.
Scientific and highly accurate apparently?
