That's a pretty old bear in Oregon. I hunted one big bear around Sisters Oregon but when I moved I got a friend onto it. He got it and it aged at 27 years. It was an enormous bear too.

27? WOW.. My previous record was a coastal boar that was 16, and he looked it.. This was a south central bear and didn't look a day over 12. LOL..

Pretty bear, looks like a nice coat!
Terrific when they age them like that, I’d imagine his teeth were plenty worn.

Very cool. My oldest was 17 and it didn't have much for canines left.

Yeah, a pretty big head.. I did the skull,but bears are a dime a dozen around here.. A guy could go broke taxidermy'em .. Now the big blonde that I know that roams around my hunting area would be a rug no doubt..

Congratulations on your bear, sometimes we get luck and get an older bear.
The oldest I have ever gotten was 22 years old; I got that bear in Montana.
