Title: Bear Age
Post by: Torrent50 on December 24, 2021, 04:54:33 PM: Just thought I would pass on that it looks like this year's spring bear ages are up. At least mine was. Killed on May 21st. 10 year old sow.

If I saw the top bear in that second pic, I would have failed the "bear ID test." That hump is big and deceiving.
