2014 Bears - Post Them Here

[soccerftw123]

Here are a few pics from earlier this year.  This one squared just under 7'.  I held out as long as possible for a bow shot, but he just wouldn't give me a clean, ethical shot.  So, I opted for the Dakota 76 in .375 H&H.  Made for a very, very short tracking job.




Here is one my friend Brian took on the same trip.  This one went 8'2" wide and 7' long. 20" skull.  And yes, one of the people in this picture is who you think he is. Great camp!

.............and who is that ?

Well, Mr. Southpole finally got his bear. We have been getting various pictures of bears on our game cameras the last couple of months at our place in Curlew. The Mr. and I went over for the last half of the muzzy deer season. It didn't take more than a day to get totally turned off for deer due to the weather not cooperating and started to focus solely on bear. By Sunday we usually have to pack up and leave to get back to our heavy equipment repair business, but this time I talked the Mr. into staying the next week to get one of those darn bears on the ground. So, I left him with a quad, rifle, some bacon and booze, kissed him goodbye, good luck and I'll see you next week when I come back for you. By Friday morning I get the text and picture I was hoping for. At first he thought the bear was small, but when I got the pictures I was relieved to see that he is a bad judge of bear sizes. We had him weighed and he was close to 300 lbs. Good job Mr. SP. here are some sketchy cell phone pictures (I was obviously not there) you'll get the idea though.
