What Do The Experts Say About Cementum-Aging?
Many hunters are just becoming familiar with cementum-aging and its potential as a tool whether for finding out how old that trophy buck is or for quality deer management. Here are some comments by wildlife biologists, QDMA members, and others who want an accurate age for their deer.
“Tooth replacement wear is not a very accurate technique for deer over 2 ½ years of age. I recommend cementum Aging to anyone who has an older deer and genuinely wants to know how old it is! “
- John Ozoga- a widely read outdoor writer and wildlife biologist that is currently the Research Editor for Deer and Deer Hunting magazine.
“Cementum-Aging doesn’t lie. It’s much more accurate than eruption wear, especially for older deer”
- Jerry Weinrich- 30 plus year wildlife biologist from the Northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan.
“Cementum-Aging has been the greatest thing we have found. We were really in the dark (aging bucks) and this has given us a clear picture”
- Skipper Bettis- Manager of The Legends Ranch in Michigan.
“Cementum-Aging takes guessing and arguments out of the picture”
- Ed Spinazzola- A member of the National Board of Directors for QDMA and Mid-Michigan Branch President.
“Cementum-Aging helps to learn how old your deer are. I don’t want to kill a buck that’s 170 inches and then learn it’s only 31/2 years old”
- Mark Schlapkohl- QDMA member who manages his hunting land for maximum potential.
“I couldn’t believe the buck I killed was 11 ½ years old. Finding he was that old really adds to the great memories I have of him”
- Jon Timmer- Bow hunter from Washington with the oldest buck aged by Whitetail Labs in 2004.
See Story on Jon’s 142 inch bow kill.
“For deer 2 ½ years and older Cementum-Aging is more accurate than eruption-wear and when a deer gets older it’s even more accurate”
- Paul Friederich- Wildlife scientist responsible for aging Michigans wild game.
