From looking at the ear set I'll go 18.5" skull; 6'4' square hide measurement and 11 years old.
The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

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

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.

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.
