[QUOTE="Treeslug, post: 2287489, member: 115704"] Okay skipglo, I once read in one of those magazines about hunting that on a black bear you should look for a bear with what appears to be short legs and small ears. After you pick yourself up off the floor laughing, let me explain the reason the writer said these things. Made sense to me at the time, but you are the one with bear experience. He said that the appearance of short legs means the bear is big and heavy due to age and fat content. The same goes for the short ears. He stated that a black bear's ears do not grow that much as the bear ages, so a bear with what looks like small ears most likely is a larger bear than one with what like big ears. Short, fat legs and small-looking ears are what he said you should consider looking for when you are trying to size up a black bear. I know you have seen a bunch of bears, is there any truth to that story? Treeslugs everywhere want to know. [/QUOTE]
