.270 Report post Posted July 22, 2015 Az bears get old. the southwest is real condusive to old bears. lots of real remote areas they can live without much trouble from people. and they have to stay in shape. can't help it, steep mountains, rough country, sometimes slim pickins. they have to travel a lot to stay fed. backeast they kill 600 lb bears that score 16 or 17. fat slobs that have been living outta garbage cans the outfitters set out for em, etc. in Az they hafta work hard to stay fed. when they get big, they are big muscular bears, not slobby fat like you see back east. that's why they get big heads out here. they can get old and don't die of heart disease and laziness. Az is real lucky for it's bears. Lark. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
