Well, this one gal I knew.......

No really, still looking for my first. How about a pic if you got it to go along with your bear. Good post.

Never weighed a bear I've killed.  We just measured them in MT, killed a couple here as well.  Biggest I've killed was 6'9" nose to tail.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

I have that problem too...the bigger they are, the farther from the road they are.  Interesting correlation huh? :)

No kidding,  bears are the most awkward animals to move. What really gets me is an outfitter that has all pics of whole bears at the lodge. Sorry but we have killed a ton of bears up here, u just. Don't move a 250lb bear out whole. Fishy fishy stuff

Not sure the weight but he was pretty much right at 7ft.
He sure did have a ton of fat for a spring bear, probably 5 inches thick in spots.

what do you guys think a weight could be?
