2nd bear tag filled yesterday evening on this 300lb (yes, I weighed him) bruin. Tree stand setup on a well used trail in some cool river bottom with heavy brush. Trail camera showed a few bears moving through around 5-6pm. 6:30 came and went and I busted out the mouth predator call and spent 2-3 minutes making a varying rabbit in distress/fawn whine. 10 minutes later this big boar walked out of the brush, stone silent with his nose in the air and looking hard. Well placed shot in the shoulder and he dropped 100 yards later with only a few spots of blood found on his death run.
It was chore getting him out! Scale weighed, minus guts, heart, lungs, etc. said 268lbs which puts him just over 300lbs live weight.
I’m sore this morning!

Maybe you know a good taxidermist who could mount that big boy.🤔

Great bear BRT.  All tagged out filling two tags is great for our ungulates.

Thank you.

Wyatt got his first bear last night. Easily could have doubled but figured one was enough to drag up and out of that hole🤮
