Powerful medicine!

Hunt with them and then take some nice close up pictures of them with the animals you kill.
May your next adventure lighten your heart, test your spirit, and nourish your soul.

Josh,

I can't tell for sure, but they look like the ones that have more of a blunt point, so I'd say early 70s. The older ones had more of a needle point. Fred Hess, the old boy who owned the bow shop where I used to get my supplies hated the newer style ones. His shop had a wooden floor, and one day when my cousin and I were in there, Fred was on a rant about the change. He took one of the old Bears and dropped it on the floor from about three feet. It stuck. He dropped one of the new ones and it bounced and fell over. "There, now which one would you hunt with?" he asked. He still had some of the old green pointy ones, so that's what we went home with. I still have some of them!

I think that was about 1973, give or take a year.

I'd save those heads as they are in the packet.

Like that they have some real collector value.

Bear heads are not exactly hard to find,,,bear heads still in the pack are.

It's not the same as never driving an old corvette ect,,,,their out of the packet already,an I bet you can't find one with zero "genuine" miles on the clock,,,and if you could I'd also bet the ownner would shoot you before letting you drive it.

From a both a dollar and a collector value,these heads still in the pack do have some value,,,out of the pack their just another bear razor,of which there are millions spread all around the world.

So why ruin something of real collector value by opening the pack when theres absolutely no need to.
Winning or losing is not the important thing,,the important thing is how well you played the game.

Sorry I didn't finish my post. Get them bloody OR sell them to someone that doesn't hunt and buy more for making meat. Frank
