I have on camera a 7ft cinnamon.  He was filmed in late July so he wasn't filled out all the way but I would guess he would be around 500lbs.  Someday when I figure out how, I will post some pics of him.  
When we first saw him, we though he was a grizz :yike:. He had everything but the wide head.  He had a big hump on his back.  I will find him again someday :bfg: He was closer to home than you think he would be but at about 5200ft ;)
I hunt therefore I am.

If you want email the pics to me and I'll post them on the site!  Sounds like a bruiser! ;)

I should have said he is on video camera. I could always post it on youtube.  I just don't know how to post a still shot from the video.

Yes. Please post vid on YouTube. With GPS coordinates of his last known location. My son really wants to shoot a Bear.  :chuckle:

If I told anyone where he is, I would loose a good friend who took me there.  It's not easy to get to.  It's a 4000 foot climb with no trail. it took me 7 hours to get there.  I was dead for the next week after I got back.

I'd be in the same boat if I told anybody where this particular bear was at... and at that I only have a mildly accurate guess... its been a family hidey hole of theirs for the past 20 years or so.  So we can do without the location but the video would still be awesome to see!!! ;)

This is the largest bear we have taken. He was almost 8 feet and from the weight of everything we packed out we figured he weighed close to 550. Taxidermist used a large grizzly form, took off the hump and built up the back end to look like a black bear. The skull placed #7 in SCI under handgun.

The next largest bear we have taken weighed 458. Over the years we have taken several hundred bear and only this one has exceeded 500 pounds.

I was at a fellow hunters place last sat. on his wall was a BIG wa blackie, that squared 7' 1". I have no idea on the weight as it was a rug, but it was a doosie. perhaps the buddies of him who are members here will post the pics.

I have a bear rug on my wall that I shot in '05 in the blues that scouts 6'9" and it was only 375lbs-ish...  19" skull.
