Little Help,.... Is this NW Wet Side Bear a Toad???
« on: September 09, 2012, 06:02:57 AM »
Just checked cameras this weekend and ran across this guy on the camera.  To bad the time of day and the position of the sun making these a little bright.  Anyway, not experienced in the Bear Hunting arena yet, but working on it.  Just my guess at this point but for those with more experience, is this guy a Toad of a Northwest Black Bear??  Thanks for any input fellas.

I think he'd be in the 250 lb range from your photos. Bears seem to be real hard to judge their weight, He sure looks like a chubby boy.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

yuppers, that's a shooter alright.
If you love something you will set it free, if it don't come home, hunt it down and kill it.

I am curious as to why people ask weight of a bear all the time? Do you know that when scoring a bear it is skull size? Not picking of the poster, just gets old seeing posts of "how big is it?" with animals. Nice bear tho good luck getting it

Shoot the bear.... weigh it and tape it... let us know what you came up with!

would be a dead bear if I saw it.
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

A lot of people don't care what an animal scores.

MOST DEFINITELY a shooter.  Make a very nice rug.  Let us know when you take it.  If you don't want it, let me know, I'll take it for you.  ;)

Good one.  If the legs look long and lanky they are often younger, smaller bears.  Not much leg there.

Hey LastMK8,

  Since you posted this thread yesterday but haven't posted a kill story yet I have to assume you've completely lost interest in Bear hunting. If that's the case please get in touch with me...I'll help spare you the trouble ;-)  :chuckle:

I'd pass. After all, who wants to drag that thing out!?  :tup:

Its a good sized bear. Good luck connecting. I am curious to see if its a male or female. Back side looks all big (shape looks female-ish to me), guessing a female, but the body is so big, I am leaning male....so I dont know what to think.

Go get him/her!
