I shot a 6-7 or 6-9 bear. Can’t remember. Skull is around 18-1/2. The 4 legs at the butcher bone in weighed 92 lb. not sure live weight but suspected 275 ish.

Here is a link to my account of the bear from my Avatar. My biggest bear was shot before I became a member here. I will see if I can find a pic somehow to post.

I would say that’s a fair estimation, and wouldn’t doubt that.

CaNine, yes I have been fortunate to have had some great adventures out after the bears. I miss it, having moved to Michigan a couple years ago.
