Here's the information from the biologist...(he had an ear tag)
Tagged 6/9/16 on Pole Ridge above Lake Wenatchee. At the time he weighed 230 pounds and was 175 centimeters long, 70 centimeters at the shoulder. Aged 11 years.
So a year later in a better food year 2 months further along in the feeding season and I'd say he was in the 250 range. Little more then I estimated him at.
He died a long ways from where they tagged him at. Pretty crazy how far they will travel!

Great job guys. Nothing about harvesting a bear has ever been easy for me. I feel your pain. Can't beat that country over there!

If you posted the gps coordinates and said there was another 250 pound bear back there, I wouldn't even think about it unless I had a helicopter. That's a great effort, guys.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when. No habitat = no game.
