grizzly2 your old area of Vernon is loaded with bears.....back in the day the area was great for deer, but many hunters under NJ law have killed off the deer herd to the point of seeing a deer is great......friend of mine loves in Vernon he does't even bother to hunt deer in the area anymore.....he's been after the same bear for 4 years, not sure of the skull size but body wise it's bigger then this one
