I'd be quite leased with a 19" bear skull. Biggest normally around here are at or barely over 20" - 7 to 7' 10" (max that I've seen) squared. It was 21" (I think) green skull.
Isn't 20" needed on a B Bear for bear minumum for the Boone and Crocket?
Anything 6' or better is a pretty good bear. My best was 6'4" (old sow) - .458 in right side of mellon - zygomic (zygomatic?) arch gone off the left side, but she had a very narrow long face anyway.
yes - that 22"er is a good'n.
