Okanogan black bear
« on: October 04, 2021, 05:39:09 AM »
Here’s my 2021 black bear I took off my property in okanogan county. He’s a big boy. Smoked him on a lung shot at only 200 yards with a 6.5 creedmoor. Didn’t have a scale to weigh him in, but with 6 different guys guessing weights we all agreed he was atleast 350lbs before being field dressed. I haven’t scored him yet either. Will do that after work today

Good looking bear!  What did it square out at?  Did you have other pictures?  Looks like about the same color as my big one.

I saw it on FB as well and sent you a message in messenger>
