Ep. 149 Big Game Tooth Aging with Matson’s Lab

Have you ever wondered how hunters know the age of a deer they harvest, or at least are targeting? The same goes for elk, moose, bears, really anything furry that a hunter might target. Well their guess is based off of some sort of associated characteristics that match known ages as determined by scientists who examine the teeth of mammals. Matson's Lab in Manhattan, MT has been practicing this aging science for decades and have become the most recognized name in the animal aging business. I was fortunate enough to talk with Carolyn and AJ about the tooth cementum aging process. It's a fascinating science that his brought them some incredibly interesting opportunities.
