Finally Found The Bears
« on: April 25, 2017, 07:06:25 PM »
I recently activated my real estate license and was out today taking pictures of a 252 ac. property I am listing tomorrow. We went on the north side of a ridge on the property and started running in to bear crap ALL over the place. We went in the next drainage and came upon this bear. Notice the grass growing in this huge meadow. Bear heaven. Of course he does not allow hunting.  I need to win the lotto so I can buy it!!
Thanks for all for your past support...We officially pulled the plug and have retired from the Biz. Still dabble a little in real estate.

PM sent.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

There is a home and shop that goes with the 252 ac.. He may split off 80 ac. for $200K owner contract and the whole pkg. for $679K. I work with Westergard Real Estate in Kettle Falls. It's on For Sale By Owner right now ---listing number 20593354---lots of pics.

I am sure glad you never stepped in that pile and slipped.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

I am practicing my field judging.  Please help me out.

The bear appears fairly large.  Large poo, large neck, small ears, ears set apart, possible fold in the middle of the head.
Legs are a bit long, so not super fat.
The back hips seem wider than the front and that there is more weight in the rear.  Possibly female.


The bear seems like a shooter to me (after making sure that there are no cubs, of course).

Size-wise, I would have guessed male.  Hips and rear weight-wise, I guess female.

What are your thoughts? 



(For our next game, we will guess the make and caliber of the side arm in the one picture  :chuckle: )
