By grinding the tooth to a thin layer to expose annual growth rings, technicians are able to read the age of the animal it came from. In com- _ bination with data from other “sources, the information gained through the “Tooth for the Truth’’ program enables wildlife managers to deduce the age, ‘composition, and general status of particular wildlife popula- - tions.

Hunters can help themselves and help conserve wildlife by participating in the ‘Tooth for the Truth’ program in greater numbers. . Participation is easy, Hunters are provided with a specially designed envelope when they buy a species licence or receive a Limited Entry Hunting Authori- zation for moose, deer, or elk, The postage paid envelope pro- vides space to record the species of the animal taken, its sex, and the date and location of the kill: Instructions on how to remove and mail in a tooth are printed on the envelope, In return, the Wildlife Branch sends each par- ticipating hunter a unique jacket crest, and advises him or her of the age of the animal from which the tooth was taken. -There’s some truth in every tooth, the wildlife managers say, and the bigger the sampling they receive the better their know- ledge and the more accurate they ‘court.
