rcdinaz Report post Posted October 4, 2015 That thing looks like a big fat farm bear! I thought the first picture was a joke that thing is so fat. It also has really long fur which would make for a great big fat old bear rug. As was said already that thing is going to be awesome eating as well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkaholic Report post Posted October 4, 2015 just so you know - there are a few articles on rendering bear fat but this makes one say ohhh- it would be worth finding someone to do it if necessary Bear Oil Bear oil which is from rendered bear fat sells for $14.00 per ounce or $0.50 per gram plus shipping Bear oil has many uses. Besides culinary and soap making, it is used in crafts, medicine, conditioning leather and hair, oil lamps, as a lubricant, as a skin softener, in cosmetics, as aphrodisiac and rejuvenator, to promote hair growth and countless other uses. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ready2hunt Report post Posted October 5, 2015 That bear is probably a pregnant sow. They generally breed in July as far as I understand and will give birth in January or just before. Putting on a lot of weight for her and the cubs for the winter in my guess. Its a good bear from what I can see. However, I am NOT a bear expert. I have one bear to my name and it was from dumb luck. Since then I have to say though- I am 100% obsessed with bear hunting. Most of the literature that I have read about "field judging" bears has to do with the ears such as "how far back on the skull," "how wide set they are" and "if they are small in comparison to the head." I have to admit, my (1) bear did not fit ANY of those categories. The ears looked large, they were close but were set a bit far back. What I found to work after I spent some time with the taxidermist and it seems (TO ME) to be a little more accurate when judging is- "HOW LONG IS THE SNOUT IN COMPARISON TO THE OVER HEAD." All the "BIG" skulls I have seen at the taxidermist tend to have one thing in common- the snouts are about 1/3 or more of the skull from the tip of the nose to the back of the head. Smaller bears have a smaller or pudgy look to them compared to the head. AGAIN, I am really no expert just my .02, hope it helps!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
