Okanogan Bear

[BLKBEARKLR]

That is a very nice bear, good full coat on her, but agree would be hard pressed to get 350 out of her. Good bet would be 225-250.

Definitely a beautiful bear, boar or sow either one!!  But...yeah... not 3 fiddy....

A 225# sow is a fairly rare exception... We've killed a lot of 8-15 yr old sows that were all under 175# with no guts...

Yeah the guys I was just with up in AK killed a 26 year old sow a few years back, and it was still not over 200#

This is the only region in Washington with significant populations of whitetail deer and moose, which draw hunters and viewers from across the state. About one-third of the state's harvest of black bears and about half the harvest of cougars come from this region. Check out our Eastern Washington Wildlife pages for more information on wildlife found in this region.



this is off fish and games website about eastern region 1. 1/3 of the harvest sounds like pretty good bear hunting to me

Have you ever noticed how someone just can't leave a subject alone?

Kind of like a chiuaua after a piece of meat.

Just get that sick taste in your mouth after a while.

Luvtohtn have your own beliefs brother you are there in the heart of it, others are not but probably wishing they were....

Once again woodywsu, very nice bear

I spend more time in the woods on the westside than the east and I've never seen a bear over here..... yet over there they pop up all the time. 

[saylean]

A fine looking sow.

   You're telling me that there's more moose and whitetail here than in the NE or the EAST...??

[billythekidrock]

I would agree with those that say 225 or so...maybe 250.

And yes, harvesting too many sows is the reason F&W is giving for shortening seasons. Some areas are getting hit pretty hard.

I'm not telling you anything, that is from fish and game. i honestly was just wanting to see some of the research documents that were mentioned because it interested me to know what the bear population was doing compared to where i am and that is one of the things I found doing a quick scan of fish and games web site, not any intensive studying. apparently it was a very offensive thing for me to do. sorry if i offended any ones delicate feelings

Bone, I dont think you offended anyones delicate feelings, it was a very nice post of an awesome bear that started going in the wrong direction, sometimes it is better to PM and ask. You might get a better responce from an individual!

You might want to look up region 2 if you are looking for information on the area of the bear posted in this topic.  As for feelings hurt, you'll never hurt mine.
