6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

[Thegman]

Ya, he was a decent bear for Idaho I think. Compared to the skull of one of my other son's bear (just under 6ft... I think it was 5ft 10in, vs 6ft 4in) it's noticeably larger. The 6ft 4in bear skull weighs almost 170 grams more. (About 16% more mass/weight).

Yeah, a 5' 10" bear, or even 6' bear, is markedly smaller than a 6'4" bear. Doesn't sound like much, but it is. 5'10" is a "decent boar", 6'4" is usually "a toad". The one in your picture looks 6'4" ish.

I did the gutless thing and didn't survey the internal damage.
