Different Bear ?

[jerkbait]

I am curious as to what others have noticed this year that have harvested a bear or Skinned a bear this year. How much fat are you noticing on the bears in your area? I am up here by LOTW and the bear I shot dressed out at 180lbs. This bear had less fat on it then what I normally find on a deer. Everyone tells me that normally the fat on the bear's back can be 2"-4" thick. The fat on the back of mine was abour a 1/4" thick and maybe 3/4" thick on the rump. I am geussing because of how dry it has been up here in this area that they are lacking in their natural foods.

More fat cold winter coming! Less fat warm winter coming!

Or just look at whiteman wood pile!

probably due to wats availble in any given year, pretty dry, the usuals are hard to come by depending on location. I think your right.

The last two months this year have been record warmth. I just don't think they are building as much fat yet as a normal year.
