Totally agree. Myself, I would pass on that one. Plenty out there bigger but you know what they say.....a bird in the hand.......

Need to give it a few more years and another 150 lbs.

 :yeah: I'm no expert, by any means. Doesn't look small but doesn't look big either. Still a shooter for me.

Is it a boar or a sow? I can't tell, some of you probably can

Id say thats probably being generous. More like 110lbs. Notice the size of the balsam root in front and around it.  Juvenile bear.

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...
