[QUOTE="sp6x6, post: 816706, member: 21869"] I have a couple taxidermist friends I stop in at so you get to see whats going threw. It is going to be very area dependent. For example MT has very few book bears and I would say it is not know for big bears.Seems like Penn. and Maine are known for some big ones sure others and of course AK.But where I live based on bears Ive seen a 5' type bear is often shot and Ive seen sows this size very square nice hide and 20 yrs. old. I think average hunter sees bear and pow.We have 6' type also and I have arrowed boars that where 5-6'' with a Pope skull and 6+ and skull was no larger.We have the very rare 7'.Where I live a 6'+ is considered a good one,that is about all Ill consider harvesting. I have seen a few local in the 20'' plus on skull and only one book personally. [/QUOTE]
