400 pounder
« on: October 24, 2019, 09:23:31 AM »
Photo courtesy of the USFWS.  476 pound Washington grizz




What to take from it......not that there are grizz here in Washington, we already knew that.....but for all of you to know what a 400 pound bear looks like. :chuckle:

Those of you claiming your 200 pound blackie is a 500 pounder, well you are just plain silly.

They are sure a cool animal.

Can't imagine seeing the 600# black bear I heard about last week  :rolleyes:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

I've been on a few cougar trips with WDFW. 

Always funny to see someone get a bit freaked as the tranquilized cougar starts to wiggle a bit.

Its an article about Montana grizzlies moving into neighboring states.  If I recall right this was a capture over by the Pend Oreille.

So I wonder if it is then their policy to capture and collar them.
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.
