    Ya, he's pretty big. Soon as season opens I'll try to get em. The size or age doesn't really matter that much. Just wanted to share. Lol

    My guess is 5-6. Just looking at the big stomach and smallish ears.

    I don't know much about aging bears but I always heard that on big boars the ears look really short and round with big muscle mounds on the head. Those ears look pretty long to me. And his legs look pretty long.

    Like this. But like I said my experience is very limited.

    I assumed you were referring to age. So I googled it. The average life span is 10 but they can live up to 30 years. A 28 year old bear would be much later.

    I think 28 would be a really old bear. And I just don't see it for this bear.
