While I have read that bear skulls never stop growing in my experience with the really old bears is that they often are shrinking around the front of the teeth due to decay eating away the bone. It can amount to well over and inch loss on old bears !
If photobucket hadn't "lost" all my photos I could post photos showing what I am talking about but I have three of them in camp showing how severe the loss can be.
