Tarkio, is there any chance that you could try to follow up on this over time and post the length of the hide and the skull score measurements? I'm curious as to how these heavy weight bears score. Call it a public service on your part!
There is a disconnect between those who weigh bears and those who measure skulls and squared hides. We have no way of knowing how a 600 lb. bear compares to a 7 footer with a 21 inch skull. A big bear can add easily 100 lbs. or much more of weight between spring and Fall.
It's kinda like: I got a whitetail with 4 inch long hooves.
