Abstract
Most researchers of odocoilene deer do not extract teeth from live-captured deer for aging. I describe how to extract incisorform teeth from white-tai led deer (Odocoileus virginianus), a simple procedure requiring <5 minutes. After removing canines from 343 live-captured deer, of which 26 were recap tured in the same winter and 29 others a mean of 3 years later, 1 observed no resulting complication.
