Iceman...I had the same problem last year...thought it was a good sized bear...I get up to her..sigh...brought it back to camp..my nick name was "Cub Scout" ;) LOL...I have been reading up on how to judge size from a distance...think I will do better next time. Still...will make a nice rug..had a great coat on her. |

They are hard to field judge. Especially with that heart pounding. |

did anybody see the news this morning about the lady that hit the bear with her car in issaquah-fall city road?? there was a guy witness they interviewed who said the bear was a pretty big one, about 400lbs. :chuckle: |

I usually knock at least 150 and sometimes 200 pounds off what everyone thinks. It amazes me what people think bears weigh. Then when a giant is shot, it doesn't get any credit. There are very and I mean VERY few 400 bears running around washington and not many 300 pounders compared to what people think. |

I think that it happens to everyone when they start looking at bears...they look bigger than they actually are. i have a buddy back in new york who shot a real small bear last year thinking it was mature. |
