Aging Deer

Age is one of the most important pieces of deer data you will enter. Without age, the other measurements are useless, since all deer data reports summarize information by age class. Recording age accurately is key to making good management decisions. Unfortunately, age is also the most difficult piece of deer data to determine. There is a publication on aging deer available from the Texas Agricultural Extension Service. You can find the publication on-line at http://texnat.tamu.edu/publications/B-1453/p1.htm. Another publication can be found at www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/tools/deerteth/deerteth.htm. There is an excellent deer aging tool available at www.deeragingtool.com. You can also order a deer aging poster and find a wealth of other deer management information from the Quality Deer Management Association at www.qdma.org.
