Ep 45: Take The Guessing Out of Aging Your Deer with DeerAge
07/12/24 • 59 min
On Episode 45 of the In Seezyn Podcast we talk with Heather Stevens, owner and operator of DeerAge. Heather has an extensive scientific background specializing in animal histology and Chad has over 20 years in the hunting industry as a taxidermist and avid bow hunter. Together they make the perfect pair to run DeerAge bringing together backgrounds that ensure they understand your needs as a customer. DeerAge is ALL ABOUT ACCURACY. Traditional aging methods like eruption-wear aging is common but has been scientifically proven to be inaccurate and an unreliable source of data in managing wildlife. In a study performed by Montana Fish and Wildlife, eruption-wear aging resulted in 62% accuracy for mule deer, 43% in whitetails and 36% in elk. Cementum annuli aging yields 93%, 85%, and 97% in mule deer whitetails and elk respectively. What is CEMENTUM ANNULI AGING you might ask.......
The basis for cementum annuli aging is the cyclic nature of cementum deposits on the roots of mammals’ teeth each year, which results in a pattern of “rings” in the tooth. Its similar to aging the rings on a tree. Abundant lightly staining cementum is formed in the growth season and dark staining “rings” form during the winter season. This provides a clear and accurate assessment of how many winters an animal has been alive.
Heather and the team at DeerAge offer an incredible service with elite level accuracy at an affordable cost. You can find more information about DeerAge at DeerAge.com or check them out in Instagram:

Ep 46: Nothing Stings Like a Wasp
Welcome back to episode 46 of the In Seezyn Podcast, on this episode we talk with Fred from Wasp Archery. NOTHING PENETRATES OR DEVASTATES LIKE A WASP. In a world where more broadheads are sold because of who shoots them than how well they perform, it’s time to reconsider what’s on the end of your arrow. No manufacturer claims their broadheads are weaker, less accurate or less devastating. So how can Wasp definitively say their broadheads are unsurpassed in strength, accuracy and penetration? Here’s how:
- Wasp made the world’s first commercially available replaceable blade broadhead
- Over 45 years of American innovation
- Replacement blades included with most broadheads
- Wasp products are loaded with time-tested technical features that deliver proven performance on every shot
- A true trocar tip that creates a sharp, strong leading edge for the blades to follow
- Tough broadheads that resist bending and breaking even on contact against hard surfaces
Check out WASP broadheads at Cut on Contact Broadheads | Wasp Archery and use code ISP2024 to save 20%
