Lots of colored bears taken in 2024
We would take more colored bears this spring in Manitoba than in past years. So often though, persons will note that colored bears get shot way before they are reaching a 'large' size. Certainly there can be some truth to this, but we would shoot a couple colored bears that I have watched for several years now, and they hadn't grown an ounce in those years. Once shot, it was very evident that these were older boars, that just genetically were never going to be big bears. Way too often clientele believe that as a bear ages he will steadily get bigger, and again, there is truth in that, but just like you and I, genetically many of these bears are never going to be 300-400 lb. bears. Think in whitetail terms, and you can get the picture.
