That is a crazy snout on that guy!  Do you have any pictures of his teeth?  I'm curious if they show significant wear or signs of age.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

had a ridiculously long snout was like 14" from nose to back of head, I might actually get the skull scored just to see, due to how the long snout was.  I will see if I can find some more pics later today.  Teeth were definitely worn, a few missing but not an ancient bear.

I was thinking 10 maybe even 15 years old.  I've looked at that picture a bunch trying to figure out of the head is narrow or if the long snout just makes it look narrow.  I think the taxi will have to modify a wolf snout to go on the bear form :chuckle:  What a cool, cool bear and awesome birthday present!

I am not opposed to golf, for I suspect it keeps armies of the unworthy from discovering deer.
