Mandatory Bear Tooth Submission
You are required to submit a tooth from your bear at the time you register it.
Big Game tagging stations are provided with the information for submitting a bear tooth. The store clerk or agent will provide you with a tooth envelope and it is the bear hunter's responsibility to:
- Fill out the information on the tooth envelope.
- Remove the first upper premolar located behind the canine tooth on the upper jaw.
- Insert the knife or a screwdriver under the front edge of the tooth.
- Pry the premolar out of the socket using the large canine tooth for leverage.
- We need the root to estimate the age of your bear. If you broke the root, try to remove the other upper premolar or one of the lower premolars.
- Place the tooth in the envelope & seal the envelope.
- Give the tooth envelope to the agent/store clerk.
