Jimmer Negamanee Report post Posted July 10, 2014 Very interesting. Did the hunter report any odd behavior or movements (like limited range of head/neck motion)? Could you post a "typical" bear scull for comparison? Thanks for posting. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted July 10, 2014 Wow! that's interesting! not sure what could cause that....but it looks more like it was born that way vs an old injury...it's seems too uniform to be a healed up injury 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted July 10, 2014 Got any pics of the teeth? I am wondering how long the bear lived? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ready2hunt Report post Posted July 10, 2014 looks like the spinal column grew and fused to the base of the skull. Ya, this bear would been interesting to watch in the wild. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkaholic Report post Posted July 13, 2014 landed on his head when he fell out of his first tree climb with the spine fused to the skull -- kind of limits possible head movement - one would think 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4Falls Report post Posted July 14, 2014 Kinda cool. Have to wonder if that would affect the Bears over all score. would boone and Crockett or pope and young disqualify the skull? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could you post a "typical" bear scull for comparison? Thanks for posting. All the hunter said was that he walked with his head down but was eating and didn't see anything wrong with him.
