An Age example: I killed a Black Bear that was aged by cross sectioning a tooth at 28.5 years old. The skull scored 20 13/16. Even though it was a solid P&Y Bear it didn't make B&C.
Had it not at least been P&Y I would have been disappointed even if they aged it at 35.5 years old. Bears are hard for me to judge. I was glad it was the biggest Bear I hadkilled to date because I knew in my mind he sure looked to be the biggest.
