Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Got my skulls back

Top one came from the NY bear. I thought it would’ve been much bigger but they’re close. 150lbs lighter than the Maine bear but he’s all head and shoulders. The head on the Maine bear didn’t match the body. It seemed too small. The taxidermist agreed with it. NY never sent me age data from the tooth. Maine bear was aged at 7-8. Both were fighters. A whole bunch of Bite marks, split ears, chipped teeth but in excellent shape.

Here’s a pic of the Maine bear with me for some detail. I’m 5’8” 220lbs. No trick photography. He’s big as hell but the head seems smaller than the NY bear above

Both are nice looking bears...Congrats!

😎

Congratulations, those are nice bears.

Very cool

When I first saw that NY bear I called it The Tug Hill Tanker. One great bear! The Maine animal is also a wonderful trophy. 500 lbs ! You've accomplished twice what most NY hunters will never accomplish during a lifetime of hunting. Congratulations!
