[csutton7]

[Mato]

Do the fellas normally hunt bruins?

 

[blue devil]

Nice Bears, congrats!

 

[ashersdad]

Those are both great bears!! Makes me anxious for Spring.

Just got the report back on the bears in this picture. 13 years on the smaller one and 20 years on the booner. That's unreal that a bear can survive that long in mt.

 

[thecrittergitter]

That is a long time........i've heard of one longer at 24 years in mt and one that an outfitter killed in Idaho that was supposedly 28.............. Based on its teeth, or lack thereof, i know it was pretty damn old

What is the big one's hide square out to? Just curious if it had the hide to match the giant noggin.

I don't remember the exact number but the old sow that "Fiver" and I killed back in like 1998 was in it's mid 20's. I was 22 at the time and I remember it was older than I was at the time.

 

[wingman1]

it was over seven but I don't know exactly. I'll have to ask him again.

Do you mind throwing up a picture of the big one's skull/teeth? I'd be interested in seeing what 20 year old bear teeth look like.

 

[Mato]

I've been around a 19 yr old boar, a 22 yr old and a 29 yr old sow..

 

[highmountian]

Yep congrats wingman, those are big. Very nice.

 

[Mato]

Gotta know but how'd they get the both of them so close together and in one piece?
