My biggest bear so far
« on: October 05, 2012, 12:44:40 AM »
I ended up with an unexpected day off wensday, so I hit the woods. In the morning I located an apple orchard that was getting hit hard so decided to sit on it that night. This bear waited till the last half hour of shooting light before showing up. I knew he was big because his belly looked like it was only about six inches from touching the ground when it was standing there but when I walked up on him after he expired, he just kept getting bigger the closer I got. He measured out six foot five inch's from tail to nose.

He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."
