My buddy who killed this 20 9/16 booner last year got the age back from TWRA who sends the teeth to a place in Mt. It came back as a five year old bear.Surprised me I thought it was much older than that.Good luck all and stay safe Lewis

Out heaviest bear at 515 lbs spring weight, and a 21 4/16 official B and C skull was aged at 5 1/2. Farmland bear and heavily fed by us for 3 years.
And the same year we killed a 260 lb, 19 0/16 skull bear that we also had aged at 8 1/2. Big woods bear, closest farmland was 5 miles away, and a new bait site.

We’re certainly not in a big agricultural area for sure very little corn by far grounds too rocky by far that’s why folks on Rocky Top get their corn in jar. Sorry about that I couldn’t help it.There is really no big agricultural fields close to us I grow a couple acres of soybeans for the game.Lewis
