    Weeeell, this morning whole we were looking for some bears we found 9 brown horns within 30 yards of the road we were on. I found 2 more laying on top of each other when I walked up a canyon, an older single up another canyon, and then a small, chalk, 5 point deer up on a ridge. Finding 13 horns when we aren’t even shed hunting is pretty decent.

    This is the only picture I have because my phone was dead, and as the picture explains....

    Didn’t end up going to where I either because I was tired of walking.

    He’s right. First one is a Java. Measure the bear skull. Length wise from front to back. Assuming black bear from the teeth. Anything over 19in is a mature male.

    That was 557 dressed. Skull was 21 and 7/8. Made top 100 all time in pa. The biggest one I’ve killed yet. Shot a 200 pound female years ago he dwarfs her in skull size and body.

    Baiting in AZ is illegal. The bear I bagged years ago was estimated 13 years old and she weighed about 300 lbs. I don' remember the skull size.

    I love me some bear meat. Get them in the acorns and they are one of my favorite.
