CA elk teeth

[DFGELK]

Just a reminder to the hunters to please send in the incisors from any elk harvested in California. Also when you do send them in please remember to fill out the information portion, a tooth with no hunter or hunt information is worthless and no way to get the age results to you. In fact I will not even send them in to be aged because without knowing where it was harvested the information is not useful. Just a reminder, good luck to the rest of the hunters. This also goes for antelope as well.

It takes a long time to get the data back, first we combine elk, antelope, and bear teeth and send them in around March. We save money if we submit so many teeth at once. We do not pay for priority aging we so are at the back of the line as well. I use to receive the information around December or January but now it is coming around April. From now on age results will be posted on line. We posted the last couple years data that we have on line earlier this year. Hope that answers your question as to why the long delay.
