Well I shot my first bear last aug on opening day in the first three hours. It was a good size bear that was around 300 live weight and the paw was 6" across. I just had the skull measured and it was 18 11/16 but has a crak so it can be counted offical. It's cool that it was that big for the first one I've shot.
Archery I think is 18 inches for state bookModern is 20 inches I believe...of course, maybe he got it with a smoke pole. grats on a fine sounding bear...now wheres the pics!

The 20 inches you quoted is for BC.WA State min for rifle is only 18.5.Archery is 18 and Muzzy is 18.
Rasbo- he would have been a well-traveled bear to get to where I shot him from Eatonville. My buddy saw this bear 3 times in one week and never could get a shot at him. I shot him at 32 yards, then he ran to within 6 feet of me. Quite a rush.
