Here are a few pic's or Ray's 2009 Fall Bear Skull. I havn't had a chance to sit down and do a score on it I will get that up later tonight. This Bear had a really WIDE head. It was finally sunny for a few minutes today so ran out and got a few pic's.

Good looking skull Michelle. Be curious to find out the measurement.

This is one of those times pics DO NOT do this thing justice..Id hate to say anything positive about Ray

but this skull is MASSIVE!!

Ive held it 3-4 times and in a pile of 7 or 8 nice shooter bear skulls this one easily stands out as the biggest!

Im not sure how the record book boys rate width versus whatever on bear skulls...but dang this one is wide...hard to imagine live it coulda got its head in a damn 55gal drum

I would like to hear some measurements on this one.....

, looks like a great skull

Ray · « **Reply #5 on:** April 08, 2010, 12:15:02 PM »

I think Michelle fluffed it up in the pics to make it look wide. I'm guessing 17.5 inches.

LongTatLaw · « **Reply #6 on:** April 08, 2010, 01:59:48 PM »

17.5

if so, I have an issue with B&C!! Thats a pig of a bear skull IMO!!

ps- mine went better than 17.5 and ur skull could eat mine!

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #7 on:** April 08, 2010, 04:53:05 PM »

Well I just scored Rays Bear Skull does anyone want to take a guess as to what it scores?

Woodchuck · « **Reply #8 on:** April 08, 2010, 04:55:51 PM »

UMMMM, 17.5 IN?

rasbo · « **Reply #9 on:** April 08, 2010, 04:58:48 PM »

18.26

Elkstuffer · « **Reply #10 on:** April 08, 2010, 05:01:17 PM »

I'm guessing 18 14/16 He's not a real old bear evident by the short comb (ridge on top off head toward the rear). But damn he is wide for a 4 or 5 yr old bear. Nice job Michelle and nice bear Ray

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #11 on:** April 08, 2010, 05:34:43 PM »

I'll give you guys a couple more hours to guess.

Austrian Hunter · « **Reply #12 on:** April 08, 2010, 05:43:29 PM »

17.95 com-on tell us!

WCTaxidermy · « **Reply #13 on:** April 08, 2010, 05:46:28 PM »

18.10 That should be right on!!!

You mammal guy's eat your heart out. Nice job Michelle.

PacificNWhunter · « **Reply #16 on:** April 08, 2010, 08:52:08 PM »

Looks good!

Ray · « **Reply #17 on:** April 08, 2010, 08:52:26 PM »

It looks a little larger than a mole skull.

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 08, 2010, 08:53:26 PM »

i would say 18 very solid bear for sure.

bucklucky · « **Reply #19 on:** April 08, 2010, 08:58:23 PM »

muleyhunter · « **Reply #21 on:** April 08, 2010, 09:24:39 PM »

Really nice work on the skull Michelle. I would have to guess around 19 2/16

Elkstuffer · « **Reply #22 on:** April 09, 2010, 12:50:22 PM »

If this was "The Price is Right" I'd say 1"

Michele, It's a sign that you're getting older

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #29 on:** April 10, 2010, 07:21:11 AM »

I tend to mearure conservative. 18 2/8"

bucklucky · « **Reply #30 on:** April 10, 2010, 07:23:25 AM »

Nice!

Elkstuffer · « **Reply #31 on:** April 10, 2010, 09:44:01 PM »

I didn't want to hurt Ray's feelings so I added 3/4 of an inch.

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #32 on:** April 16, 2010, 10:56:38 AM »

I don't think it would have hurt rays feelings. He just go out and shoot a bigger one.

Ray · « **Reply #33 on:** April 16, 2010, 12:18:05 PM »

I cannot make any claims to shooting a bigger one. The little ones like to die too. However even a low ball guess wouldn't bother me any.

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #34 on:** April 20, 2010, 06:45:35 PM »

The little ones are easier to pack out too!
