Guess the age number 2, lol!

I got my info back as well. He dressed out at 185lbs. I'm not a big fan of whoever does the aging on these bear but I send a tooth off every year I get a bear anyway. I've had some ages come back that were guesses at best.

Looks like 2-3 to me. We've had hunters report back on bear we thought were 4-6 comeback 2. We had one we thought was 2-3 comeback 8. Dave and Karen are very good bear researchers.

You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

We've had 20 inch skulls come back at 5 and 7 years old. I was told one year I shot a 6 month old which is a cub for crying out loud. Lol! They bombed all 3 of them.

Agree but for whatever reason some of the ages are so laughable. I'd say they get 75% of them right or close.
