    Been 15 times-passed on 7, missed 2, took 2 (18 12/16" & even 19") & saw nothing the other times. This was the smallest. Rug is 6'4" nose to tail & the other is fully mounted.

    My largest went 201/2" most of the ones I get are 17" to 19". Our management unit is over crowed with bears so I think there is a lot of in breeding which doesn't do well for the trophy population.

    I haven't measured his skull but I don't consider it a trophy since I shot it trying to get into our cache. His hide was just over 6'2".
