Age of '98 bear

[Yooper]

I JUST got my postcard from the DNR on the age of my 1998 bear, it was only 1 1/2. Young
but tasty. I was told it took so long because they were looking at deer heads for TB. Anyway, Did anyone get an old bear?

A friend of mine got his card back and his bear was an 11 year old sow. He shot his bear in 1998 also.

Born what was the weight on that 11 year old sow?
