From this I could do my own averaging of 9+ year old male grizzlies. My average was much higher that what biologists were claiming as average adult male. It makes a difference; probably more than with many other animals. 

That is correct, I think that the document with those especific sizes, weights and ages is "Size and growth patterns of the Yellowstone Grizzly bear" from Bonnie Blanchard.

It would be interesting to see the original document of Dr Kucherenko about those bears that he measured and weighed in the Amur region, maybe he do separate them base in age or season, maybe not. Sadly the table that I keep came from an article from a Russian reporter that presented the data, but as the original webpage is lost, I can't corroborate this. 

Regarding the bears captured by modern scientists, I don't have more information apart from the table published by Dr Goodrich and his team and the article of Mr Suvorov. Reply
