Bear age report. Guess his age

[DXT]

I got my bear age letter and patch yesterday from my 2022 bear. Anyone want to take a guess before I reveal his age??? I think you will be surprised, I know I was. He weighed 256 dressed and his skull officially made pope and young at 18 5/16”. Take a guess

3`1/2 Year old. Just a guess. Ive shot bears that size that were young.

I am going to say 2.75 because you are saying we would be surprised and even though P&Y, still room in that head to fill out those ears.  I shot one similar head size but with a rifle and was 2.75yo. Your bear weighs more though and looks bigger in the pic so I would not bet on that age, just playing the game with that guess. Congrats on him
