RE: My encounter with a big bear this past weekend!!
Well guys Im not real knowledgable when it comes to bears He looked big for the 2 hours I watched him. I was told by other camps around that there is a 600#'er there and he was there before I arrived and they said 6" taller on the back than that bear. I know he was 300# i think I can judge that how much over I don't know but i was glad to have him around for dinner!
And Matt I'm not a wussy I had 9 shot's in that .40!
6 shooters are for wussys!

Great bear! Great pics! Im sick of seeing and looking at bears though . Too many on our property this year. I need to get some bear hunters to run their dogs through our property before season.

That looks to be a 225 lb sow by the taper on the front legsand the nose to ear and ear toear are not really close to the same in length. looks to have had a pretty good winter coat (puff ball) which always makes them look much bigger.

Nice bear! Little too close for comfort ! Hard to judge the size from the picture though. It's certainly a healthy creature, that's for sure. Got some girth to it.I gave up on my feeders. Bird feeders for the squirrels, deer feeders for the bears. Ain't no wat to fight a war !

What, those trees don't help with scale? Come on! I'll guarantee that bear is at least 300lbs, easily. He might even be pushing 400lbs.I can't guarantee his skull is P&Y, but I'd bet borrowed moneyhe's over 300lbs.
