bear aged at 24

Just got my tooth data back from the 300pound sow shot with NWO in 2017. The bear was aged at 24 years old.
Here teeth sucked!

Unreal. I'll bet a tiny fraction of bears ever hit 20 so that's a rare beast indeed.

Taste was ok...........but seriously it was impossible to chew. Unless you like bear flavored chewing gum.

I know a guy in VA killed 150 lb sow that aged in the early 20's in a remote wilderness area in the mountains. I killed a 100 lb sow last year was 3 years old. You never know with bears how old they are. 20's is probably fairly rare though. Congrats.
Some do. Some don't. I just might...
