How old is the big boar in the pic??

Timberstalker · « **Reply #1 on:** January 22, 2018, 03:11:09 PM »

He’s dead.

Correction.....Was

How big was he? Males reach sexual maturity at 3-4 years, but rarely get breeding opportunities due to competition from bigger older boars. They grow rapidly to around 5, but unlike sows boars will continue to grow bigger throughout their dominant years. He could be anywhere from 6-14 I would estimate.

Couple more guesses and I'll post the age. He also was 1 1/2 inches over the Boone & Crockett min. score.

Nice bear.

I killed a west side bear in August that didn’t even come close to that size that was 15 YO.

Machias · « **Reply #19 on:** January 24, 2018, 10:28:33 AM »

Beautiful bear. I guess around 6'4".

Pathfinder101 · « **Reply #20 on:** January 24, 2018, 12:12:49 PM »

Definitely over 6 foot. His body is so big that it makes his head look small... and if he made book, then he's got a BIG head...
I'll guess 6' 6"

Limhangerslayer · « **Reply #25 on:** January 25, 2018, 09:06:20 PM »

That's a really good head for an eastern WA bear, got to be one of the biggest from E WA!

CaNINE · « **Reply #31 on:** January 26, 2018, 04:23:45 PM »

From looking at the ear set I'll go 18.5" skull; 6'4' square hide measurement and 11 years old.

That's an impressive beast. Should be pretty close to WA state record?

Looks like it’d be #3 in the Washington book.

So what's the hunt story with this bear? Did he come from Stevens County? Any pics with the hunter?

You had pictures up here at one time. Did you delete the thread? I looked briefly but couldn’t find it.

buckcanyonlodge · « **Reply #39 on:** January 27, 2018, 03:46:03 PM »

The hunter was harassed at work so we took it down...

Yeah people who are completely out of touch with the natural world get crazy emotional about bears. Maybe a video of that boar killing and eating a few cubs or munching on a live elk calf would change their perspective.

For the record, this might be my favorite Washington bear killed of all time. And a brute.
